A blogging framework for hackers... but I'm not a hacker.

Compass

If web design is your thing, then you should have a “Compass” in your pocket. It’s not what you think it is so let me just explain myself.

I’ve been doing a lot of web development for the past month now and learned about this Compass thing(a CSS framework). My OJT supervisor recommend it to us and said that it will make a lot of things easier for us. It does make things easier and it orginizes our files and it works well with SASS.

What it does…

  1. It automatically creates file directory(css,sass, etc)
  2. Automatically convert SASS to CSS.
  3. Create sprites

That’s just some of the things that compass do and all you have to do is install it, download the files needed and type this in your terminal(OS X users):
