  2. Can be saved to github
  3. Can easily be linked with a personal website
  4. Loads of features

Add Vertical Slides

You can add... ... other stuff... ...like speaker notes
Or neat transitions!

Different Ways of Using Reveal

You can clone down the basic reveal template
Or perhaps you want to build your own server?
Then just add reveal as a script tag!

Deploying Your App

Recent interest in Frontend technologies

Need a way to easily deploy single-page apps

Solutions: Github Pages & Surge.js

Very easy-to-use, open-source technologies

Github Pages

Need to deploy your front end already on github for a demo?

							$ git checkout -b gh-pages
$ git push origin gh-pages

That's it!

Navigate to: https://your-username.github.io/your-repo-name/

Surge.js

Free, reliable, stupidly simple deployment of static web pages.

Similar to gh-pages, but allows for custom domains in addition to free ones!

Deploying pages is SUPER simple

							$ npm install --global surge
$ surge

Add Collaborators, Deploy to a Custom Domain, the World is Yours!

							$ npm install --global surge
$ surge
