      This week's colloquium: "Delivering Code-Heavy Presentations with Markdown" by Ramses van Zon from SciNet. 

      The Compute Ontario Colloquia are weekly Zoom presentations on Advanced Research Computing, High Performance Computing, Research Data Management, and Research Software topics, delivered by staff from three Compute Ontario consortia (CAC, SciNet, SHARCNET) and guest speakers.  The colloquia are one hour long and include time for questions. No enrollment or registration is required. Most presentations are recorded and uploaded to the hosting consortium video channel.

      Teacher: Ramses van Zon

    • Abstract

      Technical presentations containing substantial amounts of code present additional challenges and demand specific features.  Drawing from extensive experience in delivering technical presentations, this session will share key lessons learned in creating polished, clear, and maintainable slide decks. Markdown, a simple but versatile text-based format, will be demonstrated to be an effective input format to achieve these goals. We will provide a curated overview of markdown-based tools that can turn markdown input files into PDF presentations.
