SASS or SCSS introduction
In this section, I’m going to explain what SASS is and what will be covered in this section
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
What is SASS or SCSS?
SCSS is basically just an awesome, more dynamic CSS
Sass stands for Syntactically Awesome Stylesheet
Sass is an extension to CSS
Sass is a CSS pre-processor, it basically means that it takes the scss file and converts it to a normal css file.
Sass is completely compatible with all versions of CSS
Sass reduces repetition of CSS and therefore saves time
Sass is free to download and use
Why Use Sass?
Stylesheets are getting larger, more complex, and harder to maintain. This is where a CSS pre-processor can help.
Sass lets you use features that do not exist in CSS, like variables, nested rules, mixins, imports, inheritance, built-in functions, and other stuff
Why Use this with Bootstrap?
If you want to change the colour scheme in Bootstrap, for instance changing the primary and secondary colors, SASS will be the way to do this easily.
