What is SASS?
Don't know what SASS is? check here: http://sass-lang.com/
(Also COMPASS is very similar and built on SASS .. a brief video intro is here and its well worth watching http://vimeo.com/11671458 )
Setting up SASS
I found the following link very useful when setting up:

You might find the following set up hints useful also ....
- you need to install ruby on your machine first
- You get sass by using the ruby gem download mechanism (gem install haml)
- If, like me, you are working behind a company firewall then you may need to 'circumvent' your firewall to download the gem using the
--http-proxy
setting
gem install --http-proxy http://username:password@yourproxy.com:8080 haml
- type "sass --help" or "sass --version" to confirm you have installed sass correctly
