Jupyter and reveal.js for great presentations

Let's use Jupyter notebook as a presentation program (like powerpoint).

You will need:
- Python
- Jupyter notebook
- git
- reveal.js 
- this tutorial

Create a directory (presentation could be its name)

Go in the git bash (install git if you haven't) from the directory you just created and write this


git clone https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/

Now, start jupyter from the directory like this:

jupyter notebook

Ok...

Now create a new notebook

Give it a name

Go in View
choose cell toolbar
choose slideshow

You will se a new text a slide type option on the right of the cell

Choose slide from the options:

Mark the cell as markdown

Add a title and a subtitle in the way you see down here

If you press ctrl+enter you will see the cell rendered like this:

then you add another slide with (+) button. Change cell to markdown, select the slide option and write something like this

hit crtl+enter to render it like this

Let's make another slide with a formula in it, to see how useful and easy it is to do it... try to do the same in powerpoint if you dare:

Now we are ready to render the presentation

save everythng

Go in the terminal

jupyter-nbconvert --to slides myslideshow.ipynb --reveal-prefix=reveal.js

then you got an html file, start it and you'll have your presentation slideshow

Now you can use your presentation everywhere. Just use your html file and the reveal.js directory and you're done.

Here is the first slide:
