HTML5 Presentations in Markdown and Reveal.js
Channel: Ted Curran
Date: 2015-01-16

This video shows you how you can quickly convert a Markdown formatted presentation outline into an HTML5 presentation using Reveal.js. I think this method is a great way to familiarize yourself with web technologies while producing attractive and powerful presentations that work great on desktop and mobile devices. 

You can learn how to write Markdown in ten minutes at [MarkdownTutorial.com](http://markdowntutorial.com/).

My favorite Markdown editors are [LightPaper for Mac](http://www.ashokgelal.com/lightpaper-for-mac/), [HarooPad for Mac and Windows](http://pad.haroopress.com/), or [Dillinger for the web](http://dillinger.io/).

You can learn more about [Reveal.js](http://lab.hakim.se/reveal-js) at its [GitHub](https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js/) home.

If you need a great free code editor, I recommend [Adobe Brackets](http://brackets.io/) for Mac and Windows or [Zed for Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/zed-code-editor/pfmjnmeipppmcebplngmhfkleiinphhp?hl=en). In this demo, I use [Coda 2.5 for Mac](https://panic.com/coda/), just because it has become so deeply ingrained in the way I approach code. It costs $99 but it's the only paid tool you'll ever need for web development.
