Written in a practical and concise manner, this book is a crash-course in teaching you the fundamental concepts of Less with real-life examples and problems. If you use CSS(3) in your web development tasks and would love to learn how to create maintainable and reusable code with Less, this book is ideal for you. Although you need to have some experience in web development, even beginners will find that this book is useful. Review: Not really my style, informative though. - I can code basic things on LESS and CSS. So I wanted to learn more especially integrating with bootstrap. While reading the book (kindle version) I found my self often confused because of some assumptions the writer made. That doesn't mean that it is a bad book. A lot of information is there, but what I want when I read something is some inspiration, something that this book didn't deliver. I think its more of writing style issue. Review: The book has some fantastic points and covers LESS well - The book has some fantastic points and covers LESS well. Unfortunately, they hired a very poor editor. Misspelled words (MS word could fix this for them?!?!), sloppy code with massive/obvious spacing and indentation errors, and poor wording drags the quality of the book down. This seems like a lazy money grab.

Covers all the main concepts of Less thoroughly with good examples
This book introduces Less as an extension to CSS3 and dives into it's feature set extensively, providing examples for each feature. The book also covers Less as used in Bootstrap and Wordpress and helps getting slightly hands-on, although that is not the purpose of this book and it is not covered in-depth. I should mention that this book is definitely not for learning about stylesheets from the ground up. A moderate know-how of CSS and a basic understanding of programming concepts (functions, variables, arrays, etc) is necessary in order to grasp many of the abstractions that Less provides. Overall, the book has met my expectations. I am giving 4 stars because this book could definitely improve in terms of examples and adopt Bootstrap as the go-to real world project to manipulate and demonstrate the capabilities of Less.
