Infinite Skills’ “Learning CSS with {LESS}” Teaches How to Streamline Web Design with CSS Preprocessing Language
(PRWEB) November 06, 2013 -- Software training firm Infinite Skills Inc. last week introduced its “Learning CSS with {LESS},” a course designed for website designers using CSS who are interested in streamlining the design process, particularly with large websites.
Leaner CSS {LESS}, is a preprocessor designed to make it easier to build and update CSS documents. It contains five mechanisms, variables, mixins, functions, operations, and nesting capabilities, as well as real-time compilation in the browser. {LESS} can be run on the client side or server side, or compiled into plain CSS for faster end-user loading.
Infinite Skills Learning CSS with {LESS} offers a concise training guide to help students begin using this powerful tool in a matter of hours.

Course author Walter Wimberly has been teaching for 14 years both in classroom as a college professor, and remotely online and through computer-based training. Wimberly’s primary expertise is in front-end design using CSS, JavaScript and {LESS}. He has also taught in PHP, ASP.NEt, social media, and other topics in web technology.
Following a brief introduction to {LESS}, Wimberly begins explaining how to build {LESS} files, covering the importing process, and walking users through starting a basic {LESS} file.
Wimberly then explains how to build consistent values, including how to modify the value and scope of a variable, as well as how to use mixins, and identify syntax errors.
As the course continues, Wimberly covers nesting, and how to use nesting with multiple selectors and pseudo-classes; and then moves on to cover functions and operations, including using defined {LESS} functions in color and math.
The course concludes with a chapter on compiling {LESS} to CSS for faster loading by the end-user browser.
“Especially for large and complicated stylesheets, {LESS} is great for finding ways to make it easier to create and update,” Wimberly explains. “{LESS} makes building complex websites faster and easier than ever before.”
