HTML5 Slide Template

## Configuring the slides Much of the deck is customized by changing the settings in [`slide_config.json`](slide_config.json). Some of the customizations include the title, Analytics tracking ID, speaker information (name, social urls, blog), web fonts to load, themes, and other general behavior. ### Customizing the `#io2012` hash The bottom of the slides include `#io2012` by default. If you'd like to change this, please update the variable `$social-tags: '#io2012';` in [`/theme/scss/default.scss`](theme/scss/default.scss). See the next section on "Editing CSS" before you go editing things. ## Editing CSS [Compass](http://compass-style.org/install/) is a CSS preprocessor used to compile SCSS/SASS into CSS. We chose SCSS for the new slide deck for maintainability, easier browser compatibility, and because...it's the future! That said, if not comfortable working with SCSS or don't want to learn something new, not a problem. The generated .css files can already be found in (see [`/theme/css`](theme/css)). You can just edit those and bypass SCSS altogether. However, our recommendation is to use Compass. It's super easy to install and use. ### Installing Compass and making changes First, install compass: sudo gem update --system sudo gem install compass Next, you'll want to watch for changes to the exiting .scss files in [`/theme/scss`](theme/scss) and any new one you add: $ cd io-2012-slides $ compass watch This command automatically recompiles the .scss file when you make a change. Its corresponding .css file is output to [`/theme/css`](theme/css). Slick. By default, [`config.rb`](config.rb) in the main project folder outputs minified .css. It's a best practice after all! However, if you want unminified files, run watch with the style output flag: compass watch -s expanded *Note:* You should not need to edit [`_base.scss`](theme/scss/_base.scss). ## Running the slides The slides can be run locally from `file://` making development easy :) ### Running from a web server If at some point you should need a web server, use [`serve.sh`](serve.sh). It will launch a simple one and point your default browser to [`http://localhost:8000/template.html`](http://localhost:8000/template.html): $ cd io-2012-slides $ ./serve.sh You can also specify a custom port: $ ./serve.sh 8080 ### Presenter mode The slides contain a presenter mode feature (beta) to view + control the slides from a popup window. To enable presenter mode, add `presentme=true` to the URL: [http://localhost:8000/template.html?presentme=true](http://localhost:8000/template.html?presentme=true) To disable presenter mode, hit [http://localhost:8000/template.html?presentme=false](http://localhost:8000/template.html?presentme=false) Presenter mode is sticky, so refreshing the page will persist your settings. --- That's all she wrote!
