Kicking Ass + Taking Names with Sass & Compass (by Nathan Henderson)

One of the better video overviews I’ve seen for SASS+Compass. Definitely check it out if you’ve wanted to “get” what it’s about but haven’t had the time.

More or Less a Framework

Less Framework 2

A css framework for cross-media devices.

No more 960px, no hacks unless you want them, and scales nicely for popular devices. Just what I’ve been holding out for since I’m a bit lazy and tired to attempt to roll my own.

Mario "Kuroir" Ricalde: SASS is CSS on Steroids

Ever since I began learning CSS back in 2003, I remember asking myself why didn’t it provide basic mathematical operators. Seven years later, I still ask myself that question.

What would make CSS a better language to quickly develop and maintain web applications? The answer for me was pretty…

I just started using SASS and Compass myself. I can’t recommend it enough for anyone who deals in CSS.

Hat tip to David Kaneda and Jay Robinson of Sencha for turning me onto it.

I ♥ BLUR - Once again, I got distracted experimenting with CSS3. ;-) So far I just knew how to make text look blurry by adding a lot of text-shadows like in this example by David. But it’s more a glow, because the text still stays in front. But what if you wanna turn text into smoke? Luckily you can set the text-fill-color to transparent and that gives your text a really nice smoky blur.
text-shadow: #fff 0 0 100px; -webkit-text-fill-color: transparent;
That’s it! And if you animate it, it get’s even sexier.

CSS Sprites w/out Using Background Images

Interesting, simple technique to get image hovers without needing to build out CSS sprites. Great idea.

Adding CSS3 properties to CSSEdit's auto-completion

Today, MacRabbit pushed out the first update for CSSEdit since early 2008, which had me hopeful that they’d updated the automatic syntax completion to match that of Espresso. Alas, I was unsurprised to find that they hadn’t.

After searching Twitter to find out what the actual changes were…

I still love this app. This is a great patch to keep the autocomplete relevant.

Tyler Gaw constructed his own kinetic type video. Usually, you have to make videos like this using Adobe After Effects, but instead Tyler uses WebKit CSS properties and some JavaScript. 

Check it out the “video” and the source code on Tyler’s site.
