Simplifying CSS With Sass
The document discusses using Sass (Syntactically Awesome StyleSheets) to simplify CSS by avoiding selector and style repetition, building in browser resets and common mixins, and requiring well-formatted code. It provides examples of how Sass allows nesting selectors to reduce repetition, uses variables and functions to DRY up styles, and leverages Compass mixins and resets. The overall message is that Sass can help organize, maintain, and improve CSS code quality.
