Hi,

If I want to make a Go slideshow for a presentation, similar to talks Andrew and Rob have given, is there any documentation on that, or should I just read source and try to understand it?

Hi,

  Haven't tried myself, but http://godoc.org/code.google.com/p/go.talks/pkg/present looks promising.

Cheers,
  Peter

In addition to the present tool, there are plenty of examples in the go.talks
sub-repository.

Here's the recipe I used:
1. go get code.google.com/p/go.talks/present
2. Write your .slide file in the format specified by http://godoc.org/code.google.com/p/go.talks/pkg/present
3. Run $GOPATH/bin/present

Where do I put the .slide file?

Doesn't really matter. Put it wherever and start the present tool from that directory.

Getting strange erros :(

I've created a new workspace (with /src, /bin, /pkg), did go get code.google.com/p/go.talks/present, created a .slide file in /bin, started /bin/present.
All I get is an "unexpected EOF".
Example of .slide file:
* Title of slide or section (must have asterisk)

Some Text


What am I doing wrong?

First, you don't ned to put the slide file in /bin, just start present in a directory containing the slide file (or where the slide file is in a subdirectory of $PWD at invocation).

Second, the best way to figure out any new syntax is to look at other peoples code (the present format is no different). The errors the tool gives are pretty informative so experimentation with a slide file you know works will give you useful information when you break it.

I already figured it out thanks to some guys in the Go+ Group :)

My preferred way of reading such documents is offline on e-ink reader. Is there some straightforward recipe how to convert slides to one page?

Just to note, experimental browser on Kindle Keyboard can render slides in text mode view as single page.

Regards.

If you change the extension to ".article", you get a single page, though
the formatting may not work properly. Otherwise (or in addition) print
as a pdf from chrome.

 Dot article trick is for local copy of slides or it should be prerendered by the author?

Sadly, print to pdf is suboptimal for ereaders.

Yes, you will need to get a local copy of the .slide file.

The webpage has a decent printable stylesheet, print the page to a pdf is the best option at the moment.

Hi Jahonna,

The format of the Go .slide format it described here


That's pretty dry stuff, so the best way I learnt is by reading examples, which you can find in the talks repository on github, https://github.com/golang/talks -- anything that ends in .slide is a presentation.

Good luck

Dave

[UPDATED w/ videos] Hi everyone, if you would like to create golang presenter slides in the cloud (not local) so you can create/edit slides on the go & even publish them in the internet, you may want to take a look at our ULAPPH Cloud Desktop system which can do this for you. Here's a video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tW_fFbqGjzg

You might ask if it's free? Currently, we only require a one-time very low payment in order to install the UCD system where the slides will be created/edited/published. After setup, you can use the UCD for free to create your golang presenter slides! Please visit below site to check our UCD system.

http://www.ulapph.com 

And there is even a screenshot tool that we can use to easily insert screenshots in the slides.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Loi3HNhrO5k

And you can even impress the audience by controlling your slides using your Android/IOS phone provided there is Wifi.

Thanks for reading my comment! :-)

Hello , How do you correct the error unexpected EOF when do present xxx.slide?
Seems nothing wrong about the format of the slide file.

Can you please post the entire slide in a gist or other pastebin
service. I'll tell you where the error is.
