What is LESS ?

Less is a CSS is a superset of CSS and a pre-processor programming language, often referred as “Dynamic CSS”.

LESS syntax is modelled after traditional CSS
LESS compiles into standard CSS3
LESS allows you to extend your CSS with great features such as :
Variables for faster maintenance
Mixins as re-usable objects
Nesting for a cleaner stylesheet structure
Math calculations with the Operators.
Less code and more work done !

While CSS is a great language, it has its limitations.

For example, if you have a color code used multiple times in your stylesheet, you need to edit this one multiple times to update your design. Very tedious process!

Allows to cut down one code and save time
Reduce repetition (DRY) and mistakes
