Advanced SCSS

Or, 16 cool things you may not have known your stylesheets could do. I'd rather have kept it to a nice round number like 10, but they just kept coming. Sorry.

I've been using SCSS/SASS for most of my styling work since 2009, and I'm a huge fan of Compass (by the great @chriseppstein). It really helped many of us through the darkest cross-browser crap. Even though browsers are increasingly playing nice with CSS, another problem has become very topical: managing the complexity in stylesheets as our in-browser apps get larger and larger. SCSS is an indispensable tool for dealing with this.

This isn't an introduction to the language by a long shot; many things probably won't make sense unless you have some SCSS under your belt already. That said, if you're not yet comfy with the basics, check out the aweso

The introduction to Reactive Programming you've been missing

This tutorial as a series of videos

If you prefer to watch video tutorials with live-coding, then check out this series I recorded with the same contents as in this article: Egghead.io - Introduction to Reactive Programming.

DISCLAIMER: I'm quite new to Qt, QML and SailfishOS development.
But after researching for a while, I didn't find a flawless way to test QML applications.

current situation

testing framework: QtTest with TestCase QML type
- write tests in javascript
tests can be run in 2 different ways:
- C++ harness with QUICK_TEST_MAIN macro
qmltestrunner (separate program, can be depended on as a package)

I bundled these up into groups and wrote some thoughts about why I ask them!

If these helped you, I'd love to hear about it!! I'm on twitter @vcarl_ or send me an email [email protected]

How long will it take to deploy my first change? To become productive? To understand the codebase?
What kind of equipment will I be provided? Will the company pay/reimburse me if I want something specific?
