[hacKSU] Hack Sass while you drink some CoffeeScript!

[hacKSU's mailing list]

Hello Hackers!

This week (Tuesday at 7pm in the MSB Library) we thought we should get back to web development and talk about preprocessing languages that are available. We will cover Sass for CSS and CoffeeScript for Javascript both of which are detailed below. These are some key languages to learn for the web development space and will make you an even better coder! What’s even better is that you can start using these for your Rails projects that we started last week. As always come hungry and lets have a good time learning some wicked cool languages.

Sass
(Syntactically Awesome Stylesheets) is an extension of CSS3, adding nested rules, variables, mixins, selector inheritance, and more. It's translated to well-formatted, standard CSS using the command line tool or a web-framework plugin.

CoffeeScript
is a little language that compiles into JavaScript. Underneath that awkward Java-esque patina, JavaScript has always had a gorgeous heart. CoffeeScript is an attempt to expose the good parts of JavaScript in a simple way.

Hack an awesome iPhone!
