Talks

This is the source code for https://kbielefe.github.io/talks, a Jekyll and Reveal.js site to hold the slides and other content for various talks I have given.

Initial build environment setup

Set up rbenv using these instructions. Recommend the Basic Git Checkout.

Add $HOME/.rbenv/bin to the start of your PATH.

Install the ruby-build plugin.

Install nvm.

rbenv install
gem install bundler
nvm install --lts --latest-npm

To install or upgrade build dependencies:

bundle update
npm install

To run a server on localhost:4000/talks/ for development:

bundle exec jekyll serve

Add --future to see post-dated stories.

To build the site for publishing to GitHub pages or elsewhere:

bundle exec jekyll build

To create a new talk:

Copy a file in the _posts directory. Create a 280x200 image with 5px inner boundaries in the assets/header-images directory and set the optimized_image front matter to its url. Use the 'slides' category for reveal.js slides.
