If you are also involved in web development as part of your day to day
job(sure most of us are), you know that dealing with css is inevitable. css is
so important that everybody has to consider it; from the application architects
to graphic designers.
Recently in the following blog post i
read about .LESS library which was totally new but interesting for me.
".LESS is a free, open-source
port of Ruby's LESS library. LESS (and .LESS,
by extension) is a parser that allows web developers to create style sheets
using new and improved language features, including variables, operations,
mixins, and nested rules. Behind the scenes, .LESS converts the enhanced CSS
rules into standard CSS rules. This conversion can happen automatically and
on-demand through the use of an HTTP Handler, or done manually as part of the
build process. Moreover, .LESS can be configured to automatically minify the
resulting CSS, saving bandwidth and making the end user's experience a snappier
one. "
If you want to know about .LESS for css, you can go through the same blog
post which I went through:
