Sass is a meta-language on top of CSS that‘s used to describe the style of a document cleanly and structurally, with more power than flat CSS allows. Sass both provides a simpler, more elegant syntax for CSS and implements various features that are useful for creating manageable stylesheets.

In this presentation, I demoed Cucumber and Webrat. I also talked about Integrity and how I like to put it all together.
