An Advanced Guide to HTML and CSS

I think I get what you're asking here. I work for a startup as the sole front-end guy and we have a mess of SASS/JS. It was never really rebased since the beginnings and definitely wasn't structured for performance, reusability, or neatness. I'm going to be reorganizing it soon and I'm reading up on things like this, object oriented CSS, and SASS best practices.

There's a big difference from creating a simple/moderate website vs an application that has many facets but same styles. It's a tough chore to get everything right but I'm excited to do it.

I inherited a similar beast at my last startup. The company ended up going under before I could fully untangle the mess, but when I was researching, I found little out there to give me good advice. All of our HTML, CSS, and JS needed to be addressed and we were on a 2-week release cycle, so I found breaking this debt work into release-size chunks to be a real challenge and still am without a real solution for.

I'd be interested in hearing your approaches to your current project and would definitely be willing to give whatever advice I can based on what I found through trial and error.

You should have a look at this 'Big CSS' talk.
