cs203-S2020-slides

This repository contains all presentation slides for Computer Science 203 Fall 2017. Each HTML file in this repository contains one "deck" of slides for a module of this course. To learn more about the course in which these assignments were completed, please visit the Computer Science 203 Fall 2017 GitHub Organization. The source code of the slides uses reveal.js framework to control the display of each slide. I have developed a custom theme for the slides that manages the formatting, color scheme, and the use of full-screen photographs on the backgrounds.

You are welcome to use these slides as inspiration for your own presentation. If you find these slides useful, could I trouble you to star this repository and then acknowledge it in your own presentation slides?

Installation Instructions

You can type the following command if you want to clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/Allegheny-Computer-Science-203-S2020/cs203-S2020-slides.git

Please note that the presentation may use local fonts so that it can be displayed on a laptop that either may not have access to the Internet or may only have unreliable Internet access. Some browsers may disallow the loading of local fonts due to security concerns. However, it should be possible for you to view the presentation correctly when using Chrome or Chromium on the Ubuntu operating system — this is my primary development environment and the one that I used to present these slides. However, I anticipate that the presentation slides will display correctly on a wide variety of operating systems and browsers.

I have found that some versions of Chrome and Chromium do not quickly load the full-screen images that I use as backgrounds. If you notice this problem as well, then I would encourage you to "serve" the presentation with a local Web server, such as the Ruby-based one available at jlong/serve. If you adopt this approach, then you should type the following command:

serve 4100

Now, for instance, you can navigate to the Web site http://localhost:4100/cs203_inroduction.html and view the presentation. Ultimately, if you are unable to get the presentation to display correctly in your own web browser, then please open a new issue and I will attempt to resolve your concerns.
