Any CSS coder willing to code for free?

Just wow. Climb off that horse of yours.

It's not designed to do that... so no. I'm not arguing that it's a complete language that can store and recall variables, but you seem to be missing the point. You can use it to make some decisions, however simple, so it can be seen as one, even if no developer in their right mind would consider it a proper language.

It's purpose is exactly that though... making pretty colours on a website, and automatically resizing and changing layouts as the browser changes size... reacting to different browsers, and changing what is rendered when the page is rendered to a screen or printed. Not much more.

Or you can write stuff like this:

Code: 
$darkgray: #a9a9a9
$lightgray: #d3d3d3
$red: #b80000
 
$base-color: $darkgray
$alt-color: $red
$background-color: $lightgray
 
body: 
  background-color: $background-color
  color: $base-color
  a
    color: $alt-color

can it interface with a database, save data to a file. or do anything meaningful, other make pretty colors on a website ?

If you going to try be a smart c*ck compare apples with applies. You are making yourself appear to be very uneducated to anything other than your linear mindset of technologies out there.

Can your database language create responsive websites ? Can your database language create responsive websites ? And if you think CSS is just for creating "colors" on websites it clearly shows your lack of understanding of web related technology. As you were troll.

have you made a switch to SASS exclusively in your ruby projects?

Or, because we're geeks, we have loads of money. Obviously without the life though, we just keep this money stashed up and are happy to give out free work to those who ask us on the net. Its only those who ask us in person that we tend to charge...

The loads of money that we have stashed up is only spent on necessary things, like upgrading our computers.

Well said! Don't ask, don't tell.

Yeah, it is, and a pretty powerful one at that. I can understand syntax from most languages, but CSS gets on my tit. It can be used to animate objects, so I guess you'd have to say it is a programming language, even if it is supplementary (in most cases).

Wow, you must be like a programmer or something you really have amazing deductive logic. :rolleyes:

But its obvious that you are not a creative person or understand the basics of it. But its cool so its understandable.

Interesting discussion.

Interesting post however some of the guys there clearly are also in the dark.

With Sass you can write:

Code: 
$class-slug: for !default

@for $i from 1 through 4
  .#{$class-slug}-#{$i}
    width: 60px + $i

which would output:

Code: 
.for-1 {
  width: 61px;
}

.for-2 {
  width: 62px;
}

.for-3 {
  width: 63px;
}

.for-4 {
  width: 64px;
}

While CSS by itself you would write each individual... but who actually does that these days. Sass is way more powerfull

Code: 
$list: adam john wynn mason kuroir

=author-images
  @each $author in $list
    .photo-#{$author}
      background: image-url("avatars/#{$author}.png") no-repeat

.author-bio
  +author-images

translates to:

Code: 
.author-bio .photo-adam {
  background: url('/images/avatars/adam.png') no-repeat;
}
.author-bio .photo-john {
  background: url('/images/avatars/john.png') no-repeat;
}
.author-bio .photo-wynn {
  background: url('/images/avatars/wynn.png') no-repeat;
}
.author-bio .photo-mason {
  background: url('/images/avatars/mason.png') no-repeat;
}
.author-bio .photo-kuroir {
  background: url('/images/avatars/kuroir.png') no-repeat;
}

Whot? This is the 21st century not the dark ages.

I assume you are referring to Pro-C and not objective C

Well they pay a lot more for these "dark age" skills. Too many kiddies doing these other languages has driven the salaries down, not to mention the java and dot net factories in China and India. Fortunately they don't really know that much about software engineering so can't adapt to other languages as needed.

Kiddies? Oh ok, sure. Anders Hejlsberg you idiot. Going and wasting your time on C# and all. Why did you go and make that language so that kids can program.

Compared to him, look at you, you big strong "dark age" developer you. Gosh darn i'm blushing now. "Me strong. I can do with rock (and some serious cardio) what you do with sniper rifle."
