# Sass for Web Designers

[abookapart.com](https://abookapart.com/products/sass-for-web-designers)

CSS can get quite complicated too, and with ever more demanding web designs the stylesheets grow longer and more elaborate. [Sass](https://sass-lang.com/) (short for *Syntactically Awesome Stylesheets*) offers a solution: with variables and nested rules, for example, writing CSS becomes a lot easier.

To make getting started and working with Sass easier, **Dan Cederholm** (founder of [Dribbble](https://dribbble.com/), blogging at [SimpleBits](https://simplebits.com/)) has written an easy to follow guide with tips and tricks in his new **A Book Apart book** ["Sass for Web Designers"](https://abookapart.com/products/sass-for-web-designers).
