His channel has some really cool tuts on that,personally i'm still using html and css the basic way since i'm still learning and so on,but i think one should at least know how those things work. Sass/less is huge,i see it all the time mentioned in articles .

Same here I use html and css but all inside php pages.

Trying to learn php

But sass looks so sexy, although I first need to grasp css completely

What do you guys think looks best like it was or like it is now?

Both are preprocessors. Sass for CSS and Jade for HTML. If you do standard HTML pages, Jade will be overkill. If you do MVC-type applications and need a decent view engine, you can consider Jade.

I think it's just becoming more popular because a Node.js project in Visual Studio defaults to Sass and Jade.

ExpressJS also defaulted to Jade last time I checked. (back in 2013-ish). I actually preferred EJS, but it seems the JS world is moving over to EJS. Hell, even Express seems to have fallen out of favour a bit, but I digress.

I wouldn't use either for static HTML pages, as good editor is fast enough. You can look at Zen coding if you want. I think there is a plugin for sublime.

I had to jump into LESS CSS after only really knowing the basics of CSS. I don't think you have to have much more than a basic understanding of CSS before using SASS. I sucks going back to standard CSS though.
 
If I want to go Node.js, which I do want to What would I need?

Currently I have:
Brackets + WAMP and then upload to the server ( WHM + Cpanel )

I tried Visual Studio once, but not sure if it was just me but that thing is slow and sluggish.

Blow $5 a month and get yourself a Digital Ocean droplet (https://www.digitalocean.com/pricing/) or linode instance (https://www.linode.com/pricing).

I'm very doubtful that standard 'cpanel hosting packages' have nodejs on it.

Brackets may be able to support node/express but I've never tried, I'm a $10/month PHPStorm guy.

Go do/read some basic tutorials on express, how the routing works, middleware, etc,etc. (the stuff in the youtube channel in the previous post)
Know how callbacks work and how to use them, if you want, learn promises and/or async to help out.

If you're looking for a very good framework to use as a starting point to a project then I highly recommend http://sailsjs.org

Duly noted.

Side note lets say I get this nodejs going.

And lets say I pursue a career in web *Development* how common is Nodejs? If I take on clients whom the majority of people host with some cheapie shared hosting I assume their sites wont work and would require them to upgrade their host?

Just thinking practicality here "Nodejs" vs "HTML/CSS PHP" what I currently use
 
My first attempt at Github - This to achieve the favicon look and feel I have.

Question:

Is it understandable enough can I continue in the same way for all the other parts of the site or am I doing it wrong.

I rather want to be shown right early on than later.

In my opinion NodeJs is going to take over from Wordpress in popularity. (That's my opinion- others may differ)

There are node hosting sites (https://modulus.io/, google nodejs hosting) but they probably cost something similar and with digital ocean you get a nice virtual server to mess around with and try things out.

To sell it to a client you need to be able to sell the hosting too.

nodejs is an environment/language, while wordpress is an app/framework.

I think shopping is going to become more popular that bread :P
