“Which CSS preprocessor language should I choose?” is a hot topic lately. I’ve been asked in person several times and an online debate has been popping up every few days it seems. It’s nice that the conversation has largely turned from whether or not preprocessing is a good idea to which one language is best.

I recently heard Chris Eppstein give a talk ( slides ) about creating better stylesheets and using SASS to do it. There were a couple of surprising bits in there, one of which was about “opt-in typography.” The idea was that instead of setting global styles for typographic elements like p , ul , ol , h1 , h2 , etc that you would instead apply those styles as a class, perhaps .text .

Most address fields on web forms ask for city, state, and zip code (or city and post code, outside of the US). But as us nerds often lament, city and state are redundant with zip code. Or at least they can be inferred from a correctly entered zip code.

Kubrick — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 19:48:25 +0000

Jeremy Keith has a great article on his journey to allowing JavaScript to load in content based on the currently active media query. This allows you to keep media queries only in the CSS (DRY!). The article was sans-demo, so I made one .
