Sass and WordPress: Enhancing Your Front-End Workflow

An awesome workflow can save you many hours, which in turn provides more freedom to spend time doing things to relax your mind :-)
I will cover how to start your theme development with Sass and WordPress, using Underscores as the starter theme. While this session is geared towards beginning WordPress theme designers I recommend this for anyone inquiring about Sass and it’s awesome features. Let’s Get Sassy!

The goal is to walk away with a basic understanding of:

Using GUIs with Sass
Sass Folder structure
Some of Sass Features:
Variables
Nesting
Partials
@mixins
functions
@extend
Sass Maps
Source Mapping using Chrome DevTools
