A Lift presentation embedded in reveal.js

[Andreas Alexelis]

Hi everybody,

As a part of a weekly technical presentation series in our company,I recently gave a short introduction about Lift ( our company uses Play for the Scala projects). The content itself is pretty elementary stuff and hardly groundbreaking news for this community, the presentation media however turned out to be quite interesting so I thought I might share it with you.

Until one day before the presentation, I had my Power Point slides and my demo app separately, until a colleague of mine told me about reveal.js, a presentation app in plain HTML and JS. I really wanted to demonstrate how designer friendly List's template mechanism is, so what I did was, I migrated the PowerPoint slides to reveal.js, embedded my snippets etc. in it and dumbed it as the homepage in my Lift app with jetty serving it (not node.js as the installation instructions say). It was interesting to have the audience see how Lift transforms static HTML _within_ the presentation slides themselves.

This presentation is the fruit of only 2 hours of work (patching around earlier resources, like fmpwizzard's demos for example), it is crude, design sucks and it is in Japanese, but in case anyone interested wants to use this bizarre presentation style for his own work, please feel free:

Cheers, and thanks for your loving support to Lift,

Whoaaaaaaaaaa. OK. I am officially stealing this idea for future presentations I give on Lift… with credit of course. ;)

This sounds really cool but I can't get it to compile :(

[error] /Users/Shadowfiend/github/brctoprezen/src/main/scala/bootstrap/liftweb/Boot.scala:3: object rest is not a member of package code

[error] import code.rest.CartRest

[error]             ^

[error] one error found

Maybe something's missing?

Thanks,

Antonio

[Andreas Alexelis]

ooops sorry about that, unnecessary import left over when sanitising code preparing to share.

Should be ok now 

[Antonio Salazar Cardozo]

Awesome! There's still this:

Not sure if that's intentional :)

Thanks,

Antonio

[Andreas Alexelis]

Sorry again... over-sanitising... Fixed now, thanks!

[Antonio Salazar Cardozo]

Rockin', thanks for sharing this! Definitely super-cool :)

I need to take a look at this.  I've grown into a big fan of impress.js, but I'm keen on looking at other options.  Franz and I had some similar thoughts regarding how Lift is a natural complement to impress.js, and came up with Presentera.  It's just the default impress.js demo, but any clients (i.e. browsers using anything other than http://localhost:8080) are controlled by the presenter (localhost).  I included a little control in the lower right for audience members who want to pause and backup.  I've found this handy because I often embed interactive stuff into my presentations.

Maybe we can blend some ideas around this. :)

Joe

[Andreas Alexelis]

Yes, sure. Let me take a look at impress.js and Presentera, I was not aware of them until now, they really look interesting...
