2. Why we chose SCSS and Bootstrap
● CSS is valid SCSS, making the transition
from one to the other very smooth.
● Bootstrap offers a solid start to both basic
and responsive websites
○ Need to support mobile traffic, including
tablets of varying resolutions
● Cross browser compatible
● UI elements are uniformly styled
3. Prerequisites / What to Download
Download and unzip Twitter Bootstrap's default package
and latest version of jQuery
http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap
http://www.jquery.com
If you don't have ruby and ruby gems installed, become
friends with the person closest to you who does have the
tools installed and who smells nice.
Or just follow along on-screen.
$> gem install sass
4. What we'll be doing
● Using Bootstrap as a reset / base stylesheet
● Using SCSS to write our own custom styles
on top of Bootstrap
○ Variables
○ Mix-ins
