Description

Sass and Compass Designer's Cookbook helps you to get most out of CSS3 and harness its benefits to create engaging and receptive applications. This book will help you develop faster and reduce the maintenance time for your web development projects by using Sass and Compass. You will learn how to use with CSS frameworks such as Bootstrap and Foundation and understand how to use other libraries of pre-built mixins. You will also learn setting up a development environment with Gulp. This book guides you through all the concepts and gives you practical examples for full understanding.

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

Darshana Ghodke Distribution Executive from Packt Publishing asked me to review this book.Normally I'm not a great fan of technical Cookbooks, because most of the time they miss just what you are looking for or are not easy in finding/showing wanted information. Bass Jobsen clearly took an other approach and created a well structured, logic and easy to read book. As a Bootstrap-3 developer I work with LESS, but the latest Bootstrap-4 is using SASS. The most important steps to get you going with Bootstrap-4 and SASS are punctual described. Don't expect to find every little detail about Sass and Compass, but after reading this book your ready to work with it and discover more details during future designing no matter if it is in Bootstrap, Foundation, Susy, Bourbon, Ruby on Rails, Ionic and with the help of Grunt.

This is the first Packt's Cookbook that I read and I must say that I really like how they structured the book: Getting ready, How to do it, How it works, There's more, and See also. This structure makes it easy to learn and also to use the book as reference.This book is suitable for beginners to learn about Sass and Compass as well as for intermediate readers. The author did a good job to make it easy to read and learn. He included various topics about Sass and Compass such as variables, mixins, functions, nested selector and modular CSS, building layout, Foundation and Bootstrap, Bourbon family, mobile apps (ionic framework), etc. There is even a related topic about WordPress although I think it is better if the author included more topic about it.In short, I think beginners should have this book as their first book if they want to learn Sass and Compass.
