Can I skip SASS? is it vital for someone new? or is it another skill to look up later?
I'm trying to get to the point where I have all the tools to make a flashy static website, once I have made a few of those I would like to then focus on PHP/SQL. I am currently following the Front-End Track.... however SASS is now apart of it (I just resubbed after a few months).

7,115 PointsI think if you're going to use Sass, it's a good idea to learn it now as it's quite an intuitive way to write code. It's not essential to ever learn it, though, unless you're expected to use it in your workplace.

Although it's not required, SASS is growing in popularity very rapidly. Knowing SASS will help you build projects faster and will open up more employment opportunities. For example, we use SASS to make the Treehouse website (along with many other technologies). It's a very good idea to learn it.
