SASS stands for Syntactically Awesome Style Sheets and defines itself as a meta-language on top of CSS that’s used to describe the style of a document cleanly and structurally, with more power than flat CSS allows.
SASS is written in ruby, so you need to install ruby.

pros
- Provides variables , structure, making the code simpler (you only define things once)
Cons
- You have to learn a new syntax
- Don’t expect too much IDE support apart from syntax highlighting
- no particular framework support (for that, there is Compass)
- you have to “compile” your css
