Overview

Sass has become an essential language to learn for front-end developers. It helps you write your code faster, pull off things that sometimes seem like magic, and it’s also a part of many modern workflows.

This course is going to teach you how to use the most common features of Sass, how to integrate it into your workflow and push you with challenges, helping you become a better front-end developer.

This course is about more than just Sass

This course also doesn’t solely focus on Sass as a language. Understanding the language itself is important, but it presents us with an opportunity to change how we work on our projects. This course teaches you not only the language of Sass but examines how to use it in the real world as well.

It also dives into intermediate and advanced level CSS. Sass is, at the end of the day, a fancy way to write CSS after all. So how could we learn Sass really well if we don’t also get into some higher level CSS stuff along the way?

This course isn’t just about learning how to use Sass, it’s about learning how to be a better front-end developer.

Who this course is for

  • People who know HTML & CSS and are ready to take the next step
  • People who are brand new to Sass and who want to learn what is is, how it works, and to start using in their projects today

FAQs

Do I need any experience with Sass before starting this course?

No! This course is designed assuming you have never used it before.

With that said, it does assume that you're comfortable with HTML & CSS already. I don't go into a lot of detail about the CSS I'm writing, focusing more on the Sass I'm writing and looking at the output that it's producing. You may happen to learn some new CSS stuff along the way, but I assume that you're relatively comfortable with it already.

I've been using Sass for awhile now, is it worth it for me to take this course?

It really depends on how advanced you are, but chances are that if you're already comfortable with the basics of Sass and are looking to step up your game, the Master Sass Edition is more what you are after.

There are other Sass courses out there, why should I pick this one?

Many of the courses out there simple look at all the Sass functionality, and skip over implementing it in real projects, or they fail to really dive deep into some of the more useful features of Sass. In this course, I not only look at how Sass works, but also help reinforce your learning with challenges throughout the course to ensure that you are actually learning, and not just blindly following along.

On top of this, we look at some real-world type projects, with the final one being a multipage website that we'll build out together using CSS Grid!

You also get access to a private channel in my Community where you can ask me and others who've enrolled in the course questions if ever you get stuck, or have any issues.

How much content is there?

There are 51 videos totalling more than 3.5 hours of lessons. 

On top of that there are challenges where I give you a problems to solve, based on what we've covered so far in the course.

How long will it take me to complete this course?

That's really up to you! You can work through the content at your own pace, go back over lessons, or speed through it. You have access to the course forever!

What if I decide this course isn't for me?

It happens, so you've got nothing to worry about. Get in touch with me within 30 days, and I'll gladly issue you a full refund!

What if at one point I'd like to upgrade to the Master Sass Edition?

There is no problem at all, and what you've paid for this course will be credited toward your purchase of the that version of the course :)
