CSS preprocessors...

Posted by mikeker on July 7, 2012 at 12:43am

I've been doing a lot of work with CSS preprocessors in the last year and think they are the greatest thing to happen to Web site since ditching the table-based layouts. Anyone interested in a presentation of the basics of SASS and how to get it working with your Drupal theme?

(I can also touch on LESS, but I've pretty much left LESS in favor of SASS because of the larger community support of SASS).

I would love that!

Not going to be able to make it tonight :(

I can do a presentation on Drupal performance options and touch on the basics of boost, apc, memcached, and using xdebug or xhprof for profiling to see which of the aforementioned performance techniques will help the most. I am in the middle of a class on cryptography that is eating up all of my free time and will continuse to do so until mid August. If we can schedule it for the meetup after next or something I will be able to put together a nice demonstration using ec2 as well. Also maybe someone has a drupal site that I could use as a demo?
