CSS preprocessors make developing clean and semantic stylesheets effortless – yet I feel there is a somewhat steep learning curve when figuring out how to integrate it into a WP theme you are developing if you are new to Sass. Someone new to WordPress is probably used to chucking the majority of their styles in style.css and calling it a day… My talk will take someone through a basic structure for organizing Sass within a WordPress theme, using the Bones theme framework as an example. I will go through some of the benefits and cool tricks you can implement with this structure including the basics of breakpoint includes, variables, and mixins. Finally I will address perhaps the greatest hurdle to immediately implementing Sass in your WordPress theme – compiling. I will take people through the common methods of doing this including Grunt (just a basic rundown without going too deep into it), Compass, and WordPress plugins like WP-SCSS. My hope by the end is that someone would see how powerful Sass can be and how easily it can be used with WordPress.
