DON'T INTRODUCE US YET, JUST THE TALK
This talk is aimed at those developers and/or designers who are comfortable with CSS already and are curious to hear more about Sass and how it can kick boring, bloated CSS ass.
We’re going to be focusing our talk today on:
What is Sass
Why you should use it
Some of the features and terminology of Sass
and challenges to incorporating Sass into your workflow

<h2>What is Sass?</h2>
</section>
<section>
<img src="images/i-dunno-lol_1_.jpg" alt="doggy who doesn't know">
<aside class="notes">
You may be asking yourself, What is Sass? Is it an entirely new language? Do I really need to use the command line? It’s so scary!
</aside>
</section>
<section>
<h2>Sass is CSS Extended</h2>
<p class="fragment" >Sass is a lean, clean CSS extension language:<br />You write Sass; your browser sees CSS. </p>
<img src="images/scss-to-sass.png" alt="Illustration of how Sass converts .scss files into .css files">
<aside class="notes">
Sass is a scripting language that gets interpreted into CSS stylesheets. You write your Sass in files with the extension .scss, and then it gets translated into CSS that your browser can read (browsers don’t understand straight Sass). Sass is based on CSS, so you’re not learning an entirely different new language. It’s like CSS but leaner, and cleaner.
CSS is valid Sass.
walk through this really slowly to set the stage for how this works (go into some detail)
Compiling is where the magic happens!

<section>
<h3>What you write</h3>
<pre><code>$bold: 700;
$link-color: #33CCFF;
$sans-serif: 'Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif';
body {
font-family: $sans-serif;
a {
font-weight: $bold;
color: $link-color;
}
ul {
list-style-type: none;
}
}
</code></pre>
<h3>What the browser sees</h3>
<pre><code>body {
font-family: "Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif";
}
body a {
font-weight: 700;
color: #33ccff;
}
body ul {
list-style-type: none;
}
</code></pre>
<aside class="notes">
Sass is what you’re writing; after Sass does the compiling, the browser will see the CSS.

<h2>The problem with CSS</h2>
<img class="right half fragment" src="images/110112-walter-reeves_3.jpg" alt="plants growing all over and entirely covering a house">
<ul class="half left">
<li class="fragment">Repetitive and messy</li>
<li class="fragment">Bad coupling (especially in Drupal)</li>
<li class="fragment">Bloated code</li>
<li class="fragment">Difficult to maintain</li>
<li class="fragment">Bad for performance</li>

<aside class="notes">
as projects get larger, CSS doesn’t scale in a maintainable and organized fashion.

<section data-background="images/messy-code.png">
<img src="images/The_face_palm_of_agrivation.png" alt="Stick figure at a computer holding his face in his hands">
<aside class="notes">
One of the fundamental principles of good performance and good code is the concept of Don’t Repeat Yourself. Whatever CSS organizational methodology you adopt, whether it’s BEM, OOCSS, or SMACSS, all best practices agree that more code is worse code.
Harder to maintain, worse for performance, more difficult for those team members working on your project or coming after you to clean up your mess.

<!-- Benefits of Sass -->

<section>
<h2>Benefits of using Sass</h2>
<ul>
<li class="fragment">Write fewer lines of code with less repetition (stay DRY!)</li>
<li class="fragment">Change values in one place; watch them update everywhere!</li>
<li class="fragment">Spend less time in development</li>
<li class="fragment">Improve site performance</li>
<li class="fragment">Organize files for better maintainability</li>
<li class="fragment">Use cool features such as functions and mixins absent from CSS</li>
</ul>
<aside class="notes">
Define components once and reuse them throughout your project, rather than repeating the same CSS over and over (change your font-size or font-family in one line and it will update everywhere!)
Nest your CSS for more logical, maintainable stylesheets (use wisely!)
Perform advanced processing before your CSS is compiled, such as calculating color functions or creating image sprites

<h3>When do you use a @mixin vs @extend?</h3>
<p class="fragment">@mixin repeats the code every time and the CSS gets bloated</p>
<p class="fragment">@extend will add the selectors together and then output the code just once</p>
<aside class="notes">
MIXIN - So much for not repeating ourselves
EXTEND - This is DRYer, however it can still get kind of bloated and messy especially if you never use just “.box” in the website

<h3>So when do you use each?</h3>
<h4 class="fragment">Mixin:</h4>
<p class="fragment">When you use a variable or the output changes</p>
<h4 class="fragment">Extend:</h4>
<p class="fragment">when you’re using the original selector already</p>
<h4 class="fragment"> Placeholder:</h4>

compass compile
