A CSS Authoring Frameworkbased on SASS
http://compass-style.orgbut really, you should see
http://beta.compass-style.org
Like Django for CSSextensible, best-practice implementations
that you don’t need to reinvent
Installinggem install compass
compass create /path/to/project
_BASE.SCSS$brand_color: #acd29f;$base_font_size: 16px;
@import “compass/reset”;@import “compass/utilities”;
…
MYAPP.CSS@import “base”;
/* your sassy styles go here. */
DEJA VU?{% extends “base.html” %}
<!-- your markup goes here. -->
END PRESENTATIONAL MARKUP
<body id=“blog-detail”><article class=“wrap”>
<header class=“grid-12”>…</header><div class=“grid-8” id=“content”>…</div><aside class=“grid-4” id>…</aside><footer class=“grid-12”>…</footer>
</article></body>
END PRESENTATIONAL MARKUP
@import “blueprint”
@mixin two-column {/* two-col layout on a 12-col grid */article {
@include container;header, footer { @include column(12); }aside { @include column(4); }.content { @include column(8); }
}}
body#blog-detail,body#blog-list { @include two-column; }
END PRESENTATIONAL MARKUP<body id=“blog-detail”>
<article class=“wrap”><header class=“grid-12”>…</header><div class=“grid-8” id=“content”>…</div><aside class=“grid-4” id>…</aside><footer class=“grid-12”>…</footer>
</article></body>
<body id=“blog-detail”><article>
<header>…</header><div id=“content”>…</div><aside>…</aside><footer>…</footer>
</article></body>
COST: LARGER CSSGenerated CSS

SAME POWERFUL TECHNIQUES,NEW LOW PRICE
cross-browser hacks and fixes
shortcuts around verbose CSS
pre-baked layout (ex: sticky footer)
spriting
extensions!
DEPLOYMENTI still haven’t completely figured this out.
Trigger compilation from Fabric.
Bonus:
sass --style compressed infile:outfile
Powercomplexity
can’t use fancy GUI editors (SASS)toolchain addition
Still pretty awesome.
Questions?
