Lately I have been exploring whats coming down the pipe for new versions of SASS. Version 3.3.x brings in a lot of new or improved features that, as a programmer, are very cool. I’ve enjoyed using SASS as a means of styling for quite some time now. It is simply a very efficient way to generate style for your site in a small amount of code.

What? Thought we were done? There are still things left to learn here. There are always things to learn.

In Nokogiri, the css method is simple, straightforward, and familiar if you have a background in jQuery. But, if you have multiple elements on the page to select, suddenly that method is lacking in power. We need to be able to select multiples of anything, anywhere in the DOM. This is where XPath comes in, and is much more efficient than the css selector.
