I'm a proficient developer but, I admit it, I'm weak at design and converting designs to CSS. I've used SASS but never as more than a slightly DRYer CSS (no mixins, variables, or anything interseting).

Wynn's and Adam's showed me on a lot of what I've been missing out on. I'm now planning to invest getting up to speed on Compass. Why write all of the CSS (or SASS) if I can replace tons of it with existing Compass mixins?

The only thing that I'd like more of, and I mentioned during the tutorial, was something akin to a set of Compass recipes to help those of us who are brand new navigate the massive (and impressive) set of features offered by Compass.

Great work, guys!

These two guys gave an excellent talk on how to use front end developer tools to simplify the CSS headache of any complicated web application.

For me, it was an excellent introduction to SASS and Compass, which I'd heard of, but hadn't had a reason to try and use yet.

I'd like to see a few more examples of taking a project from "developer-good" design to "wow, that's amazing", but I think no one in the class was brave enough to have their sites critiqued in public!

This was a great workshop. For a Rails dev looking to put some polish on my front-end skills and learn about all the new hotness in Rails 3.1, this was perfect. I'd used with SASS before, but I picked up tons of tricks with variables, mixins and Compass to use it even an even deeper way. The intro was a nice overview of design basics. Everything from color theory to the terminology of typography. Wynn and Adam were great facilitators. They are writing a SASS book that I will be buying when it comes out.

There's so much to cover in HTML5 and CSS3 that it's hard to cover everything, a deeper dive into some of the more useful esoteric features might have been nice.

Thanks guys!
