Best way to learn how to combine Blueprintcss and Compass/Sass?

Question

I would like to apply Blueprintcss and Compass/Sass to a Rails project.

Should I learn Blueprint first or Compass/Sass first or are there any guides on how to use the two of these together?

Also, does it make any difference that it's a Rails project? Could this combination of technologies be just as easily applied to, say, a Java project?

Answer 1

Compass comes with its own version of Blueprint, so I'd say just learn Compass.

Answer 2

Blueprint is just predefined plain set of css. so you can use it on any frameworks or programming languages.

I my self using blueprint for both php and java project. for php i am using codeigniter, joomla and even wordpress ;)

Answer 3

When I first encountered Compass, I knew neither Compass nor Blueprint. I started out by watching the Compass screencast and then by trying to use it. As Sass is similar to CSS (CSS on steroids ;-)), I was able to get working real soon. Having the Blueprint CSS cheat sheet helped a lot. Thus, I recommend learning Compass first and then learning Blueprint on the way.

Also have a look at the GitHub wiki pages for Compass.

It is easy to use Compass with any language/framework combination.
