Compiling Slides and Running Locally

1. Install Node.js (v6)
2. Run npm install from this repository's directory
3. Run gem install sass to install Sass. Note: You will need to download Ruby to run this gem command.
4. Run grunt from this repository's directory to compile files. A window will open with the slides running locally. Any changes will automatically refresh.

Make CSS changes to the source files, not the compiled CSS files (i.e. not those in /dist). Source files can be found in /src/css as .scss files.

Teaching Tips and Recommendations

• Slide-specific notes can be found in presenter mode. To enter presenter mode, press the S key when viewing the slides in a browser.
• All CodePen solutions have a class of solution solution__lesson-X where X is the lesson number (1, 2, or 3) and are hidden from the slides by default. When you're ready to reveal solutions for a given class, uncomment out display: inline; in the src/css/theme/source/gdidarkblue.scss file. Typically solutions are revealed after each lesson ends.
