They serve 2 entirely different purposes. Sass is a preprocessor for CSS, which is a markup language that defines what a webpage should look like. JavaScript is a programming language that was created to allow webpages to do things, but can now power a whole lot more than just a webpage. You can't do any actual programming with CSS, but you can make things look good. Personally, I'd learn Sass before JavaScript because it's important to know how to style a page and it'll be easier to wrap your mind around if you just know HTML, but it's totally up to you

Thank you Micheal. I just finished my HTML and CSS basics. I was just wondering if I should learn everything about the CSS family before learning a new language. Thanks for your advice. I am going to need it.....
