Overview of {LESS}
{less} is a dynamic stylesheet language originally designed by Alexis Sellier. It was designed to make working with complex CSS files easier and faster by working as a preprocessor.
How is it Generated?
{less} can be generated at run time, run from the server, or compiled into a CSS document.
{less} allows a developer to use several methodologies to simplify the design process. These include:
- variables,
- mixins,
- functions,
- and operations.
You will find working with {less} to be similar to working with CSS at first, as that syntax is still valid. However, you will also find that as you start using some of the cool {less} features, you will start being able to do more and more with {less} and making your designs even easier.
