A bit of sassy reminiscing


As I mentioned I started Sass some time ago. I even remember that illustration of the girl with the telephone. Remember her? I always imagined she was having a sassy debate with her friend about the latest web design trends and telling her friend to stop using IDs in her CSS.

Anyways, I can also remember it was actually pretty difficult to learn Sass. The only thing that got me to persevere was I could use as little as I wanted in the beginning, so I had that safety net of plain old CSS. So when I started out I really only used Sass for the variables, imports and the nesting. Even with that, it made my life so much better!

The version was Classy Cassidy(3.0.18), and even though Sass hadn't been offering the .scss syntax for long at that point, it was really starting to make waves, due to the fact you could just write css and use as little or as much of Sass as you wanted. When it's put like that to someone you'd wonder why it wasn't a feature in the first place.
