What is Sass?

A CSS preprocessor.
A program that takes source code written in one type of language as input, and outputs code that can be understood by another program.

 

Sass Syntax Types

  1. SASS: Indented Syntax (Original) — not CSS code compatible.
  2. SCSS: Sassy CSS (Latest) — fully compatible with the syntax of CSS. Plain CSS syntax is valid.
