Sass and Compass in Action

by Wynn Netherland, Nathan L. Weizenbaum, Christopher M. Eppstein

Cascading Style Sheets paint the web as the user sees it and for years the web has been painted by hand. Sass and Compass extend standard CSS to give more flexibility and the option to simplify or automate many tedious tasks. Sass and Compass are the power tools that allow stylesheet authors to "paint" with remarkable speed and precision.Sass and Compass in Action is the definitive guide to stylesheet authoring. The book begins with simple topics such as CSS resets and moves on to more involved topics such as grid frameworks and CSS3 vendor implementation differences. Then it culminates in a step-by-step look at building a personal stylesheet framework in which readers can bundle their own approaches and opinions and reuse them across projects.

I was tired of searching through huge CSS files that became unwieldy, and finding/replacing colors and fonts. I wanted to write CSS faster, fund my classes and IDs quicker, and code with fewer mistakes. This book got me up and running fast. It was clear and well-written. I still go back to it for syntax now and then.
