I like automation that eliminates human factor of forgetting of doing something. Happens to me just like it most likely happens to you. Especially when we do repetitive things. That's why I've written a few posts that are direct result of me striving for automation. May it be the post about NUnit test project settings in Visual Studio that starts NUnit test runner by simply pressing F5 button or the additional file editor that automatically executes batch (*.bat) files from within Visual Studio. Never mind. This one's related to simplicity, versatility and automation. And CSS3 stylesheets of course.
Actually it's about the extended CSS syntax that we get by writing SCSS stylesheets (similar to LESS, but more on it later on). SCSS used to be called SASS with its own syntax but now uses CSS syntax hence changed its name. I will be using SCSS acronym from now on because that's what my following code example uses. If you've ever used any of these two you'll know the benefits of simplified, easier to handle and more powerful style sheets. I have been flirting with this couple for some time now, but on this last project of mine, my flirting became a serious relationship. I started using SCSS. What I will share with you here are a few common mixins that are usable to any web developer.
