I recently started using haml/sass for all my static markup and never looked back. CSS variables FTW!

This is great, thank you.

If it catches on, this will turn the web development world on it's head!

And really. It is totally awesome!

It's great!

Chris, compass is amazing. I'm designer and I'm open to make the compass cheat-sheet. The only thing I would need is the content, because I'm not completely familiar with compass yet ;)

Cheers

@Renato, please join the compass-users google group and start a conversation about creating a cheat sheet.

Compass looks really good but that video is waaaaaaaaay to long. You should do a 5 minute intro and keep this as the full length tutorial. Also, you could probably double time this video and still be able to understand it.

Otherwise, nice idea!

Wow, this sounds really awesome, and I've been using some of the CSS templates listed on the Compass site, however, an hour is so long to invest to just find out about it, and it's very slow. I just don't think I'm going to make it through. I would just second CpILL's comments. Compress this thing into a 3 minute video where you speak quickly and hit the most important 4-5 points. Keep this video as a longer tutorial, not an intro to the framework. Keep up the good work. :)

Agree with CpILL.

+1 CpILL. It's agonizingly slow and it doesn't need to be. I wish vimeo had a 2x-3x speed play for this.

Great Video Chris,

and thank you for this fantastic tool. I too decided to join compass-haml/sass and will not look back.
I disagree that the video is too long - I would rather have too much than not enough.

Let's have more on other compass frameworks and plugins..

Tips to producing a less obnoxious screencast:

1. Plan everything you're going to say before you say it (and have someone who isn't you check your grammar).

2. Stop stammering and saying "um."

3. Always have a point.

4. Edit the parts that didn't have a point out before you publish.

Chris -

Thanks for putting this video together. And thanks for putting together such a useful tool and sharing it with the world.

great stuff!

btw, is the +unobtrusive-logo -mixin deprecated? ;)

yes. Maybe I'll add it to sass-recipes: github.com/chriseppstein/sass-recipes

yeah, do that. it looks so smooth!

Thanks for this wonderful, wonderful screencast. I loved the way you arranged the windows as much as anything else (and for once loved the Monaco font!). I saw this online and would love to download it to save it for local viewing and easy sharing (In India not everyone has high speed broadband). However, the download gets stuck at 236 out of 362 MB (and I have tried 4 times so far in two browsers; other downloads from other sites and vimeo is working just fine). Can you please check and either fix it or point to an alternate download URL? Thanks!

Managed to download after about 10 attempts. Strange!
