Slide 10 didn't fit for me :/

Ah, the image doesn't work in the downloaded artefacts. This is because the book is placed in training-material-book.

I think we need to patch mdslides to find all the images and copy them to the output-dir. Or hack the build.sh file to cheat and cp ./book/*.{jpg,png} ./slides.

Great slide deck - tons of very useful content. As discussed in the call, you could break the "timing" slides off into another deck, or stick a break slide in front of them so it's clear where can stop if you don't have time (ha ha) for that section.

I also made a couple of minor suggestions, and other comments above.

I am approving this, based on the understanding that it's an optional slide that only groups that really want to deep dive into the build mechanics will get when asking for it.

I think all groups will at least need the introduction to workspaces, because the Connected DB uses a workspace.

Slide 10 is now good, but the image still doesn't appear. I suggest we just hack the build.sh file to copy over all the image it finds in the source directory into the HTML output folder.

Rebased on main so the FFI stuff compiles (my bad for accidentally pushing to main).
