Answer 1

SASS stands for Syntactically Awesome StyleSheets. It is an extension of CSS that adds power and elegance to the basic language. SASS is newly named as SCSS with some chages, but the old one SASS is also there. Before you use SCSS or SASS please see the below difference.

An example of some SCSS and SASS syntax:

SCSS

$font-stack:    Helvetica, sans-serif;
$primary-color: #333;

body {
  font: 100% $font-stack;
  color: $primary-color;
}

//Mixins
@mixin transform($property) {
  -webkit-transform: $property;
      -ms-transform: $property;
          transform: $property;
}

.box { @include transform(rotate(30deg)); }

SASS

$font-stack:    Helvetica, sans-serif
$primary-color: #333

body
  font: 100% $font-stack
  color: $primary-color

//Mixins
=transform($property)
  -webkit-transform: $property
  -ms-transform:     $property
  transform:         $property

.box
  +transform(rotate(30deg))

Output CSS after Compilation(Same for Both)

body {
  font: 100% Helvetica, sans-serif;
  color: #333;
}
//Mixins
.box {
  -webkit-transform: rotate(30deg);
  -ms-transform: rotate(30deg);
  transform: rotate(30deg);
}
