I’m looking forward to the Sass Fundamentals workshop! A few notes to ensure you’re set up in advance are below.

See you soon!

Node.js

You’ll need a relatively recent version (v4.5 or newer, v7 ideally) of node.js installed. On OS X, a great way of doing this without disturbing your existing dev environment is to install NVM. Installation instructions are here.

You’ll know everything is set up properly when you can run

nvm --version # might look like "0.31.4"
node --version # might look like "v7.7.3"

Visual Studio Code

Particularly if you’ve never tried it before, you should install Microsoft Visual Studio Code. Some fantastic extensions that I use regularly include

• css-triggers
• vscode-icons
• Sublime Text Keymap - Install if you’re used to sublime text keyboard shortcuts

Check out and setup the project for this workshop

git clone git@github.com:mike-north/sass-workshop.git
cd sass-workshop
npm install

then attempt to start the app up

./run -e nesting

should see a banner indicating that you’ve started an exercise

The server used in the course files is compiling the SASS files on the fly with a middleware https://github.com/mike-works/sass-fundamentals/blob/master/src/server.js

I'm getting this error when trying to run any of the excercises
