Defensive Sass - Modular Stylesheets for Modern Websites
- April 11 · 7:00 PM
There is no question that Sass is a game changer for CSS. It gives us so many powerful tools for constructing CSS. But how do you keep it all organized?!!
In this talk John Long will delve into his bag of tricks to share practical advice about structuring your Sass project. We'll learn from some of the best CSS frameworks and see how principles for modular CSS can be applied within the context of a Sass project.
Whether you are building your own version of Twitter Bootstrap or just trying to bring a little sanity to that web application you work on you are sure to walk away with something practical to apply to your own project.
John is the managing editor of TheSassWay.com where he is the author of many fine articles. He lives and works in Cary, NC where he does UX design for UserVoice.

Couldn't make it to the meetup because of class but if Les is will to do another workshop I think it'd be awesome. I'd also like to thank everyone for the effort that goes into this group.

First off, I really enjoy these meetups and totally appreciate Les and John's time. This one wasn't what I expected. A lot of time was spent on CSS theory and opinion and then everything related to Sass or SCSS was flown though. I was hoping for more of an introduction to Sass, what it is, how and why to use it, etc. I've tried to educate myself but don't currently use it. Others obviously had more experience. Looking back at the description for this meetup, I see that the session really did follow the description and it's my own fault for expecting something different!

I thought the talk was great, but I already use Sass. I would love to see a strong intro to get more people turned on to using it!

I'm always interested in how other information professionals categorize and conceptualize their work. I admire John for coming up with an approach that worked for him and then having the courage to present it to a group of peers. I say "courage" both because public speaking can be intimidating and also because of the number of people out there who have a beef with what they might call "class-itis". But he made a good case for how his modular approach works - so much so that I'm going to adopt some of his tactics in my work today!

Very interesting presentation. Haven't used Sass yet but looks compelling and I'm looking forward to exploring. Thanks John!

John did a great job making the case for a more modular approach to CSS that works well with SCSS.

Great presentation combining a few well-regarded Sass and CSS structure and naming techniques into one guy's recommended workflow and style, presented more as suggestions than commandments. Many takeaways, and nicely crafted and commented example code. Active Q&A too.
