How I Style Sheet @gregmcintyre 2014
Ye Bad Olde Dayz
Repeated Values
Related Values
Repeated Selectors
Vendor Prefixes
Does Not Convey Intent
Cross Browser Pain
Specificity Wars
SASS (with Compass) ☑ DRY Values ☑ Calculate Values On-the-Fly
☑ DRY Selectors ☑ DRY Vendor Prefixes ☑ Convey Intent ☑ Cross Browser Compatibility
DRY Repeated Values

DRYs Selectors
DRY Vendor Prefixes
Convey Intent
Cross Browserify
.scss or .sass ? Backwards compatibility with CSS Style rules
on one line Looks like vomit
Ye Bad Newe Dayz
CSS is First Class Code Good naming Separation of concerns
Code reviews Refactoring Bugs, verification, regressions
Good Code = Easy to Change Verifiable Reveals Intent DRY
Concise
None
Split Concerns
“OO” CSS
Twitter Bootstrap
Zurb Foundation
OOCSS Benefits Project scalability Browser render speed
SMACSS
SMACSS Style Layers Baseline Layout Modules States
Baseline CSS
Layout CSS
Module CSS
State CSS
Mixins or OOCSS?
Semantics
Level of Abstraction
Do I Need Strict Content Semantics? Different and wildly different
themes all at the same time? User edited markup? CMS?
SASS+OOCSS+SMACSS DRY selectors DRY values DRY media queries (@content) DRY
vendor prefixes (Compass) Minimise amount of code Fast render speed Conventions Clear intent
Good luck out there @gregmcintyre 2014
