Description: We'll start with a brief introduction to SASS and LESS CSS languages, review examples, and why/how to integrate them into your workflow. Followed up by a discussion on dummy testing your site with Selenium and Twill to round up the meeting.

If there's time left over we'll talk shop like we normally do - who's working on what, ask questions, etc.

More info - 

Selenium - http://seleniumhq.org/

Selenium is a portable software testing framework for web applications. Selenium provides a record/playback tool for authoring tests without learning a test scripting language. Selenium provides a test domain specific language (DSL) to write tests in a number of popular programming languages, including C#, Java, Groovy, Perl, PHP, Python and Ruby. Test playback is possible in most modern web browsers. Selenium deploys on Windows, Linux, and Macintosh platforms.

Twill - http://twill.idyll.org/

twill is a simple language that allows users to browse the Web from a command-line interface. With twill, you can navigate through Web sites that use forms, cookies, and most standard Web features.
twill is open source and written in Python.

SASS - http://sass-lang.com/

Sass is an extension of CSS3, adding nested rules, variables, mixins, selector inheritance, and more. It’s translated to well-formatted, standard CSS using the command line tool or a web-framework plugin.

LESS - http://lesscss.org/

LESS extends CSS with dynamic behavior such as variables, mixins, operations and functions. LESS runs on both the client-side (IE 6+, Webkit, Firefox) and server-side, with Node.js.
