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.

Bleugh gutter mobile is awful. That was for @oliverturner
@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
@fanaugen TIL
I'll add you to the schedule then :)
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
@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
Alex was supposed to do a talk this week but he got hold up by shitty tube service :)
Also, can you specify what you're comfortable coaching or do you just turn up and see? :)
@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
@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.
@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
so here: http://sass-lang.com/guide i'll be learning what you suggest Oliver, whatever the name? @oliverturner. Thanks in advance!
hey coaches - we're having some problems with coach invites in the app for some reason. next week's workshop at ClauseMatch is open for RSVP: http://codebar.io/workshops/166
@oliverturner @assembly21 –
scss can be verbose like anything. It's just a tool and is often recommended because of it's compiled nature vs. css. You can still use it as if it were css. There are plenty other reasons to use it and solutions to work around it being 'verbose'. Happy to chat at pub or in a codebar session. Please bring examples and I'll bring myself and try help :- )
@assembly21 I'm more of a LessCSS person, but if I understand correctly, SCSS is a mild syntactic variation on SASS. Only the basic syntax is different -- the semantics are the same. This means you can probably learn SASS and translate the syntax to SCSS in your head. See http://www.sitepoint.com/whats-difference-sass-scss for more info.
or this code school tutorial is really good, I remember doing it back in the day
