Rob Walker from Papertrail takes us through his recent journey from regular CSS to SCSS. If you’re thinking of making the switch yourself and just need a little push, this is the talk for you.
9. Variables
• Define once, use everywhere
• Control a whole layout or style from a few variables
• Use the variables in calculations, colour modifiers
and loads of other operators
15. How to make the switch
• Install SCSS - sass-lang.com/install
• Convert CSS to SCSS - Just rename .css to .scss
• Generate SCSS - scss styles.scss:styles.css
• Play and learn (and read the docs)
