Simplifying CSS in Visual Studio With Sass
Create more maintainable CSS in less time.
What you'll learn
Sass makes writing and maintaining CSS easier and quicker. It is a superset of CSS that provides time-saving features, but still compiles to standard CSS. Using Sass, we can get better readability and organization, reduced duplication and maintenance cost, use calculated values and variables, and write less repetitive boilerplate CSS.
