Thomas Reynolds on the difficulties using HAML and SASS when dealing with a backend that supports neither:
Sass makes me a faster in my initial development, but it also speeds up tweaking small site-wide issues and overall maintenance. I develop my Sass modularly and try to use variables for site-wide colors, border and fonts. Wouldn’t it be great if I could use Sass throughout the entire development cycle? More…
Thomas goes on to suggest Compass, a unique set of tools that has translated common CSS libraries to SASS but also compiles SASS to CSS on the fly.
I’ve only just started working in HAML and SASS but I can already think of a few projects that would benefit from Chris Eppstein’s work.
