New Course: Advanced Sass

Now that you know the basics of Sass, it’s time to put these new skills to work in the best way possible. Learning the ‘best practices’ for writing Sass will gain you admiration among your peers.

There are three sections in this new course:

Getting Started

We will dive into file management and importing that won’t steer you wrong. We will also use Source Maps to help debug our code and remind us where we put all these files.

Advanced Variables, Mixins, Functions, and Placeholders

You have mastered DRY and that is awesome! But now let’s look at how we can take all these variables, mixins, functions and placeholders to make some rock solid modular code. We will also look at advanced naming conventions with nesting features, how !default works and how to DRY up our variable naming conventions using list maps.

Advanced Functions

Functions are amazing and there are multiple examples out there that illustrate how to better abstract away calculations and operations into individual functions that can be consumed into other functions, mixins or directly with CSS attributes. In this section we will look at how we can use functions to introspectively understand our code.
