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

Templating in EE vs. Craft CMS.

Here are a few common tasks you might do in your templates, as they would be written in ExpressionEngine vs. Craft CMS.

MySQL

Getting started

PSQL

Magic words:

psql -U postgres

Some interesting flags (to see all, use -h or --help depending on your psql version):

-E: will describe the underlaying queries of the \ commands (cool for learning!)
-l: psql will list all databases and then exit (useful if the user you connect with doesn't has a default database, like at AWS RDS)

Commands

Getting Started

git init

	var connection = JSON.parse(stdout).default.default;

	console.log(connection.database);
	// result botdb
	}

	var str = "The quick brown fox jumped over the box like an ox with a sox in its mouth";

	str.match(/\w(ox)/g); // ["fox", "box", "sox"]

	// match (when used with a 'g' flag) returns an Array with all matches found
	// if you don't use the 'g' flag then it acts the same as the 'exec' method.

	str.match(/\w(ox)/); // ["fox", "ox"]
	/\w(ox)/.exec(str); // ["fox", "ox"]
