If you are starting a new project and decided to use Foundation here’s a link to an interesting video about using [Foundation+SASS](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nEgHk2wmMjU) and the settings file to get the most out of SASS. This is a great way to get a feel for how SASS works and how to implement it. ---

I’m currently reading up on Foundation and the key differences between foundation and bootstrap. My first serious project is working with 5.5.3. Because I mostly use plain html / css there is zero difference between the frameworks in terms of how I design - more Foundation is less bloated (out the box) - similar to bootstrap I can create my own custom version [http://foundation.zurb.com/sites/download.html/](http://foundation.zurb.com/sites/download.html/) I only need the essentials, as my main reason for using a framework is to speed up my design process and the responsive aspect. ---
