About this ebook

Filled with practical, step-by-step instructions and clear explanations for the most important and useful tasks. Get the job done and learn as you go. This book is filled with practical, hands-on recipes to help you write SASS quickly and more efficiently.This book is great for those new to using CSS pre-processors such as SASS, and who are looking to get a good grounding in how to use SASS. It’s assumed you will have some experience in using HTML and CSS already; it is likely you will be responsible for maintaining at least one website (the larger the better), and are keen to learn how you can use SASS to help make it easier to manage your CSS styles. Although SASS is powered by Ruby, it is not essential to already be familiar with Ruby for the purposes of completing the recipes in this book.

    About the Author

    Alex Libby has background in IT support – he has been involved in supporting end users for the last 15 years in a variety of different environments, and currently works as a technical analyst, supporting a medium-sized SharePoint estate for an international parts distributor based in the UK. Although he gets to play with different technologies in his day job, his first true love has always been with the open source movement, and in particular experimenting with CSS/CSS3 and HTML5. To date, Alex has written two books (one on HTML5 video and another on JQuery tools) – Instant SASS CSS How-to is his third book.

    I'd like to thank my family and friends for their help and encouragement, Maria D'souza for her help and guidance in writing the book, and Melanie for providing lots of constructive comments with the reviewing – without them, I am sure I wouldn't have been able to produce this book!
