Web Designers








Vs.


The Command Line







I´m originally from Colombia


  

This is how tutorials make you see the CMD

This is how I saw the CMD

No matter...

...the effin' angle.

Damn thing looked SCARY!

 This is how I try to see the CMD today

Like family.

Being a PC gamer for so many years...



...and LAN partying like a mofo...





...has helped me deal with the CMD a little.

I learned a few things

about the CMD by watching friends

install video games.

:]


Basic MS-DOS commands

I know:


dir - mkdir - del - cd.. - ping - ipconfig

ipconfig /release - ipconfig /renew

Truth be told:


I am no CMD expert.


AT ALL!


But...


The CMD is part

of being a Web Designer.

I admit my sin:

I honestly  don't want to deal

with the CMD

more than I need to.



I'm a Web Designer and I want to keep it that way.

Pick your battles.


My Battle:



ROUND 1!


As I was trying to install Sass:



CMD: 1 - Ricardo: 0

ROUND 2


I decide to try again...

  

CMD: 2 - Ricardo: 0

ROUND 3

"I must break you."




I don't think so!


  1. Download Ruby installer and install it like any other application
  2. Open the CMD and type: 
    gem install sass

  3. Then type: 
    sass --watch scss:css --style compact
  4. FireSass: 
    sass --watch scss:css --style compact --debug-info



CMD: 2 - Ricardo: 1!!!



I beat the CMD!




LEVEL UP!
+1


Today: 


No more CMD for
Sass, Compass or FireSass...
