And no, there is no downside... unless being too awesome is a downside.

(For the record I don't consider needing a build step to be much of a downside)

I guess there's one thing I'd note, which is that the real hipsters are beginning to get on the PostCSS bandwagon, but in terms of getting a job, IDE support, etc SCSS is a very solid bet

(let me know if any of that ^ needs clarification)

@codedsignal I'll do that homework then Oliver! Thanks.

Oliver Turner

@oliverturner

No problem :)

Hey there! Guys (sublime text users) how you deal with next problem:

/* some CSS */
.first-selector {
font-weight: bold;
}

.another-selector { ... ;}

Actually
after typing bold; in example above in order to beginning typing
.another-selector I must "push" down or pageDown button on my keyboard
and also hit Enter - but it sucks! Maybe exist plugin (package) or
default trivial deal with it? ( after typing bold; for instance hit
binding Ctrl+Space(or something like this) and just begin typing
.another-selector . I know it was tough)) but I hope you understand me, any
suggestions?

@deniseyu I could do a tiny lightning talk tomorrow at Pivotal, but only if there are no talks in the pipeline, as my idea is rather silly to be honest.

Also, definitely going to recommend CodeSchool’s JS course to any JS beginners from now on: https://www.codeschool.com/courses/javascript-road-trip-part-1
While it’s is a paid subscription service, the first three levels of that course are free, and they provide a very gentle intro with nicely edited videos.

@matyikriszta

@fanaugen we don't have anyone lined up for tomorrow so it would be great if you could do a lightning talk

Denise Yu

@deniseyu

yea i like codeschool. maybe actually i'll email codeschool and ask if codebar can have an account

Kriszta Matyi

@matyikriszta

what's the topic?

Baris Balic

@barisbalic

@oliver sass being an acronym should always be capitalised? Also SCSS is more verbose.

Bleugh gutter mobile is awful. That was for @oliverturner

Alex Jahraus

@fanaugen

5 minutes is the upper boundary, right? Because three might end up being enough for me. The topic is x = x + 1

Denise Yu

@deniseyu

:thumbsup: good to leave a few mins for questions :)

Alex Jahraus

@fanaugen

@barisbalic According to Sass’ README, only the first letter in the technology’s name is a capital S https://github.com/sass/sass#sass--

I would always spell SCSS in all caps (like CSS) though

Baris Balic

@barisbalic

@fanaugen that's interesting, there is actually no reference to the original name on the site anymore. Perhaps it was passively renamed to Sass.

@fanaugen TIL

Kriszta Matyi

@matyikriszta

@fanaugen yes, 5 min is the time allocated for lightning talks

I'll add you to the schedule then :)

Denise Yu

@deniseyu

lightning talks! any takers?

Kate Whalen

@katebee

@deniseyu If you would like a talk on CVAD placement - medical devices and technology, I am happy to do one on the 15th, or any time after. :smile:

Kai Chan Vong

@kaichanvong

@deniseyu – a talk on open source from a 'stamps please' perspective? ;)

But seriously. I'd be interested in giving a talk on front-end frameworks such as angular, backbone, ember and react.js

Just an overview – not an in-depth thing to start off with. Or something that can be reused and refactored by others

Denise Yu

@deniseyu

@katebee that would be awesome! i don't think there's anything lined up. @kaichanvong I think that would be great as well, and you touchd on it already but it would be good to keep it high-level. maybe even start off with "what's a front-end framework?" would also be nice to include a few links to tutorials online, i know Codeschool has some videos on Angular and Ember

Kriszta Matyi

@matyikriszta

we do have a speaker for next week lined up, Sam

Denise Yu

@deniseyu

oh whoops- didn't scroll up far enough i guess :-P @katebee are you happy to do the week following?

Kriszta Matyi

@matyikriszta

also, @fanaugen would you want to do your talk on the 15th?

Alex was supposed to do a talk this week but he got hold up by shitty tube service :)

Kate Whalen

@katebee

@deniseyu sure! or the week after that! :smile:

Denise Yu

@deniseyu

#181 for now, until we can properly make a PR to the app, we can use this to keep track of lightning talks

Kai Chan Vong

@kaichanvong

nice

Denise Yu

@deniseyu

@katebee i put you in for the 22, @kaichanvong do you want to do the week after?

Kai Chan Vong

@kaichanvong

@deniseyu yes please

Denise Yu

@deniseyu

@oluoluoxenfree

To become a coach, do you just change the button you click?

Also, can you specify what you're comfortable coaching or do you just turn up and see? :)

Denise Yu

@deniseyu

@oluoluoxenfree yep - when you're logged in, go to http://codebar.io/subscriptions . if you would like, you can make a note on your profile but mostly people just turn up and see what happens

Olu Niyi-Awosusi

@oluoluoxenfree

Awesome, thanks :)

Jon Kelly

@jkbits1

@oluoluoxenfree that's terrific that you want to do some coaching :thumbsup: :tada: Perhaps you could mention to the organiser who calls out the pairing to keep an eye out for your hand going up for a particular set of students. As most of the students have expressed a preference in advance, and most people arrive by 6:45pm, we know the possible pairs before we call out the names.

Olu Niyi-Awosusi

@oluoluoxenfree

Good idea :)

Oliver Turner

@oliverturner

@barisbalic - @fanaugen is correct: it's "Sass", despite being an acronym (and you can see more evidence on their home page: http://sass-lang.com/)

Re SCSS being verbose, I personally like the visual affordances that brackets etc give me when parsing code and I like that it eases the transition from plain CSS for new developers

Carolina Sawney

@assembly21

so here: http://sass-lang.com/guide i'll be learning what you suggest Oliver, whatever the name? @oliverturner. Thanks in advance!

Denise Yu

@deniseyu
