Stanley Kwok commented on MIFOS-4538:
-------------------------------------
The intro on Compass web site summarizes what it is quite well: "Compass is a
stylesheet authoring framework that makes your stylesheets and markup easier to
build and maintain. With compass, you write your stylesheets in Sass instead of
CSS. Using the power of Sass Mixins and the Compass community, you can apply
battle-tested styles from frameworks like Blueprint to your stylesheets instead
of your markup."
Compass is an CSS abstraction framework which adds programming concepts lacking
in CSS such as function (referred to as mixin), variable and simple arithmetic.
What you do is write CSS-like code in Sass (.SCSS) and Compass compiler will
generate CSS.
I spent half a day setting up Compass, learning about the framework and Sass
syntax and creating a working example. The learning curve was quite steep due
in part to the fact that there is a number of moving parts one deals with
(Compass, Sass, Blueprint) and documentation on Compass is something to be
desired for beginners.
SCSS has to be compiled before it can be used. The compiled CSS should not be
changed manually because changes will get overwritten when the SCSS is
recompiled. Anyone wishing to make a CSS change would have to be familiar with
Compass or have learn it first which slows down development. Simple, short
tutorials or code examples aimed at developers should be enough to get around
this problem.
