What:
How a meta-language can help you take control of your stylesheets and help improve your style productivity. Whether you are a developer looking for inheritance, a designer looking for structure or a manager looking for efficiencies, the dynamic stylesheet language could possibly be just the tool for you.
We will examine such features as
- variables
- mixins
- operations
- nesting
- alternatives like SASS
