Anyone here experienced with SASS, JADE and PHP?

[giggity]

Hi,

I have been using vanilla html and css for far too long now, seeing as JADE and SASS are far faster to set up websites with, however, I also do some back-end programming with PHP for CMS.

Does anyone have experience using PHP with JADE to create dynamic webpages?
What environments do you use? I am trying out Koala and Atom/Brackets (interchanging) - I prefer free software.

Very interested in hearing how you enhance your work environment.

Thanks

In some projects I've used SASS and Jade for I've also had grunt involved.
That's usually taken care of the file watching and auto recompiling piece.

For my GUI I have PHPStorm which also has support for 'compiling' SASS but I let grunt do it.

I've also managed to hook up auto browser reloading via PHPStorm so the flow:
Update scss code, grunt recompiles, PHPstorm gets browser to reload.

It's nice with 2 monitors then I can have one dedicated to various sized browsers and the other to my editor.
Plus I can run the grunt watch through PHPStorm too.

You can get the same setup using just grunt and free editors.

I use LESS, PHP, Twig, and Gulp to boost my workflow.
Jade certainly looks interesting, but I'm far too used to Emmet-assisted HTML in Sublime Text. If, however, I needed specific functionality of an HTML pre-processor, I'd pick Jade over HAML any day of the week, and thrice on Sundays.
