Hi All -
Maybe I'm missing them, but are there any lessons on LESS or SASS on treehouse yet?
Also, in the Build a Responsive Website project >> Creating a Fluid Foundation >> Converting Pixels to Percentages could this be done in Less with Operations?
Example:
.Grid_1 { width: percentage(65/1000); }

2,255 PointsI use a different app that is free and focuses on less - http://wearekiss.com/simpless it's called Simpless and it's free plus it's cross platform. It works great though for LESS.
Another good option that is not free or cross platform is codkit (http://incident57.com/codekit/). It works for both less or SASS and it's a really nice program, but I went with the free LESS option since I don't use SASS.
