Alex's notes and slides for teaching Ruby
Alex Chaffee alex@stinky.com
We use a Ruby app called deck to generate and serve the slides. Install deck like this:
gem install deckrb
And of course, before you can see these slides, you need to clone this repo and change into its directory:
git clone https://github.com/alexch/ruby_notes.git
cd ruby_notes
deck showoff.json
This will launch a local web server on port 4333. Open your browser to localhost:4333.
On a Mac you can run:
open http://localhost:4333
On Windows I think you can run:
start http://localhost:4333
Use arrow keys to navigate slides. Press '?' to see a help window.
Same as above, but specify the slide files you want, e.g.
deck ruby-basics/strings.md
or
deck ruby-objects/objects.md ruby-objects/classes.md
Slides are in Markdown format.
Image files should be in, or relative to, the same directory as the slide source file that refers to them.
