Creating Slides

Build training slides with one script invocation (which contains all the steps listed below):

Run ./create_training_slides.sh and provide your name, twitter-handle and e-mail address.

Detailed Steps

AsciiDoc → HTML

This is what you install (in your terminal):

• Install asciidoctor and dependencies

gem install bundler
bundle install

Make sure you’re using asciidoctor 1.5.1

• execute asciidoctor to produce Deck.js HTML5 output from the AsciiDoc source files

Test it with:

./run.sh content/demo/index.adoc
#equivalent to
asciidoctor -T ./asciidoctor-backends/haml/deckjs -a allow-uri-read -a presenter="Your Name"  content/demo/index.adoc

Open HTML File

• open the resulting HTML file

./http content/demo/index.html

Slide Demo on GH-Pages

AsciiDoc → PDF

Renders the document to a temporary file, without creating intermediate steps for bullets. Then generates PDF from that using an "screencapture" app. This will get better soon.

./pdf.sh content/demo/index.adoc

Neo4j Training Classes

Content Git Submodule

Content available in a separate, private GitHub repository https://github.com/neo-technology/training-slides

which is integrated in this project as git submodule.

Use git submodule init and git submodule update to pull the latest versoin.

Then the training content is found under:

content/training/[intro,cypher,production,modeling,import]/[classroom,online]/index.adoc

Build Training HTML

Easiest to just run ./create_training_slides.sh

build Movies Intro training with:

./training.sh
# or
./training.sh [path/to/training.adoc] ["Trainer Name"] [[email protected]] [@trainer]

Open Training in Browser

The easiest way to start the training is to start a webserver and open the training on a http url.

For example run a SimpleHTTPServer with python. This is wrapped in a shell scripts for unix users.

on Linux:

./http .
# or a concrete training
./http content/training/intro/intro-cypher-movies/training-intro-cypher-movies.html

In Browser Key-Bindings during the Training

There are a couple of shortcuts you can use as a trainer to help during the training this is a summery of the most common:

• g: show a window to quickly go to a slide.

• m: show an overview of your presentation, be able to click a slide to goto the selected slide.

• n: show presenter notes

• p: clone the presentation to a presenter-deck (with next slide and presenter notes) and a master.
