This project is place where we, the Clojure Community, can document our conversation and code relating to a 'conversation' I have proposed for Clojure Remote 2017.
The core topic is Remote Learning.
If you're interested in learning more, please see the file notes.org in the root of this project. I'll be blogging about this topic frequently at webappzero.com.
My best,
Jay

Installation:
After you git clone this repo to your local system, cd into the root of the repo and run npm install. Then run npm start.
I'm using the jaysky.scss them file. If you make changes to a theme file that you're using, you'll want to run grunt css-themes.
I'm using emacs org mode to write my outline. Then I export the outline to reveal.js slides with org-reveal.
This is a very nice workflow compared to keynote or powerpoint. Many thanks to Hakim El Hattab, author of Reveal.js. Imagine, anything you can do with a web page, you can now do with your presentation.
Org mode is an awesome outlining tool which makes it super nice to move headings up or down and all around. Spacemacs is a nice way to get started with org mode. Thanks to all the great folks there for your help!
I'm using spacemacs, which comes with org-reveal pre-installed. In emacs run the function org-export-dispatch and then Shift R keys twice to export to an html file.
Then run npm start and node will fire up and detect changes (you might have to kill previously started instance as it will fight over port 8000).
My theme contains a webcam component. I'm using a mac. My video feed is super slow at first, but when I open photo booth, or any program that accesses the camera, voila, the frame rate smooths out to 60 fps. I have no idea why, but it works for now.
Please submit any ideas, topics, questions or comments you may have by creating a topic folder within the ideas folder in the root of this project, wherein you and I can discuss your ideas. I'll keep an eye out for your Pull Request.
If you prefer, we can discuss you idea face to face in an online meeting or over the phone, just schedule a meeting with me and I'll reply with a link to our meeting.
Presently, this project only contains notes, not working software, but that might change soon.
This project is currently comprised of 2 distinct parts which have been commingled for the sake of immidiate convenience. They will be separated in the future. They are: 1) The Content (of the talk "The Value of Learning") and 2) The soure code for the popluar Reveal.js presenation library.
