Be a Ninza CSS Coder with CSS Preprocessors (Stylus, LESS, SASS)
by Brajeshwar Oinam (speaking)
Objective
An introduction into the world of CSS Preprocessors (Stylus, LESS, Sass) to enhance CSS Development. Start using it today and you'll never go back to writing CSS the old way.
Description
What are CSS Preprocessors and what they can do to help you write better enhanced CSS. Will help you write cleaner, more manageable CSS and help you concentrate on the core UI/UX while the preprocessor takes the grunt of the vendor prefixes, et al.
Requirements
Eagerness to learn. Some idea about CSS.

Hope this session doesn't clash with "Scalable Frontend architecture". The methodologies discussed in that session can be further enhanced using pre-processors.
Would be great if you could also cover how SASS(using compass I guess) can make it easier to create sprites.
PS: The technical level should be intermediate or advanced. Pre-processors are advanced tools and need to be used responsibly else the compiled CSS would be totally inefficient.

Spriting with Compass have become very easy with the recent induction of Lemonade into Compass. I haven't tried the latest upgrades but last time, it was easy but fewer options drove me to do my own spriting. I'll see if we will have the time to make an introduction or a quick demo on how to do sprites with Compass.

I agree with Praveen. Considering the demographic of the target audience, it would be nice to upscale the technical level to somewhere between intermediate and advanced.
