Fuzzy's very busy with move stuff. I'll be doing all the initial reveal.js/prez work so he won't have to worry about it.

[vmbrasseur]

The "generating the slides" doc is in ./slides/README.md.

[vmbrasseur]

prez installed (required sudo on my machine).

[vmbrasseur]

prez initialized in slides/staging:

First time running prez got me this:

Epicurus:production brasseur$ prez10 staging

Epicurus:staging brasseur$

So phantomjs is required.

FYI, my prez10 alias looks like this right now:

prez10() {
  # $1 = staging | production
  cd ~/github/10stepprogram/slides/$1
  prez --serve --print --watch
}

The layout of the initial staging/slides directory is:

Epicurus:slides brasseur$ ll

I think I'll try using a stack for each of the high-level sections and see what Fuzzy thinks. That's why this is staging, after all.

[vmbrasseur]

There's now a stubbed-out first draft/demo version of the slides in slides/staging.

Known issues:

• Need closing slides
• May need to renumber slides to get the closing slides in
• No speaker notes
• Thrown together using the outline; lots of work to be done yet
