SASS and Compass for Web Designers: Introduction
SASS and Compass for Web Designers: Grids and Sprites

We're going to continue our look at SASS and Compass, this time preparing ourselves for a complete website template build. During the coming screencasts we'll use a popular Themeforest .psd design, translating it into an HTML/CSS project with our new found SASS and Compass skills. There's lots to do, so let's get going!
