LESS is a friendly, easily-approachable CSS preprocessor. Though ultimately, Sass and Stylus are more powerful and robust, LESS has a certain charm that keeps it as a forerunner in the battle of the preprocessors. If you're a Sass fan, then you can take advantage of Compass, an incredible framework that makes coding with complex CSS3 properties a breeze. But what about LESS users? Where's their Compass? Today we'll look at three awesome mixin libraries that will help fill that void.

The LESS Ruby gem compiles LESS code to CSS.  LESS is an extension of CSS. You can write LESS code just like you would write CSS, except you need to compile it to CSS. That's what the gem is for. If you are on Mac OS X, you can install the gem by typing the following command in the terminal:

LESS extends CSS with dynamic behavior such as variables, mixins, operations and functions. LESS runs on both the server-side (with Node.js and Rhino) or client-side (modern browsers only).

This is a complete tutorial to using LESS with Chrome's DevTools. If you've used Sass with Chrome's DevTools, you'll most likely already be familiar with the concepts introduced here. | Difficulty: Beginner; Length: Quick; Tags: Tools & Tips, Tutorials, Web Dev

LESS & SASS are awesome technologies that allow you to write CSS extremely fast with a ton of awesome features. A perfect intro for anyone who wants to get started writing CSS faster, better, and stronger.

Some bright folks also feel the same pain and went ahead and built meta-languages and compilers that take their own version of CSS and compile it to standard CSS code. Their own CSS meta-language is thus able to have new features, like variables, mixins, operations and so on. The most notable of these right now is SASS (part of HAML). I've tried SASS and really liked it, but one thing really bothered me. I didn't like how all the syntax was different to CSS. Sure, it's not CSS anymore, it's SASS, but do we really need to change the syntax of the stuff already present in CSS - why not just expand it? I've asked a friend of mine who is much more competent at programming than me about how long it would take to code a CSS compiler that retained the original CSS syntax but added a bunch of new features. He liked the idea and so we've put together our own version of CSS together with a compiler we call LESS, which stands for Leaner CSS.

Today's hoopla over changes to the Facebook Terms of Service have prompted a rare blog post from Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg. In the post, Zuckerberg falls short of apologizing for the changes, but rather, uses the opportunity to explain why Facebook more or less keeps your content indefinitely.
