In this Writing CSS with {LESS} training course, expert author Walter Wimberly teaches you everything you need to know about this dynamic stylesheet language. This course is designed for users that already have a working knowledge of CSS. You will start out by learning how to build {LESS} files, on the client-side and server-side. Walter will teach you how to build consistent values, including how to modify the value and scope of a variable, use Mixins, and identify Syntax errors. From there, you will learn about Nesting, and how to use Nesting with multiple selectors and pseudo-classes. This video training will also teach you about the functions and operations in {LESS}, including defined {LESS} functions in colour and math. Finally, Walter will show you how to compile {LESS} to CSS. By the completion of this video based training course, you will have an in-depth understanding of how to write CSS with {LESS}. Working files are included, allowing you to follow along with the author throughout the lessons.
