Language

and how it affects me

ORIGINS

Programming Languages

Native Language tendencies

I talk very differently in Korean than I do in English.

I have to talk much more politely in Korean. Especially to people older than me. Theres an entire sub-language for polite talk called 존댓말

In English I can talk the same way to my friends and to people older than me and it will not be misinterpreted as disrespect. This allows me to focus more on the topic at hand than figuring out word choice

Programming Language Tendencies

Programming languages are much easier to pick up than native languages. The vocabulary is much less and the concepts are the same, only the syntax changes.

Different syntaxes and characteristics of a language make the language more efficient for certain tasks. I think about which ones to use before I start a project

I tend to try to use my favorite language to do most tasks, even if it is not the most efficient

Transition Styles

You can select from different transitions, like: None - Fade - Slide - Convex - Concave - Zoom

Themes

reveal.js comes with a few themes built in: Black (default) - White - League - Sky - Beige - Simple Serif - Blood - Night - Moon - Solarized

Background Transitions

Different background transitions are available via the backgroundTransition option. This one's called "zoom".

Reveal.configure({ backgroundTransition: 'zoom' })

Background Transitions

You can override background transitions per-slide.

<section data-background-transition="zoom">

Pretty Code

function linkify( selector ) {
  if( supports3DTransforms ) {

    var nodes = document.querySelectorAll( selector );

    for( var i = 0, len = nodes.length; i < len; i++ ) {
      var node = nodes[i];

      if( !node.className ) {
        node.className += ' roll';
      }
    }
  }
}

Intergalactic Interconnections

You can link between slides internally, like this.

Speaker View

There's a speaker view. It includes a timer, preview of the upcoming slide as well as your speaker notes.

Press the S key to try it out.

Export to PDF

Presentations can be exported to PDF, here's an example:

Global State

Set data-state="something" on a slide and "something" will be added as a class to the document element when the slide is open. This lets you apply broader style changes, like switching the page background.

State Events

Additionally custom events can be triggered on a per slide basis by binding to the data-state name.

Reveal.addEventListener( 'customevent', function() {
	console.log( '"customevent" has fired' );
} );

Take a Moment

Press B or . on your keyboard to pause the presentation. This is helpful when you're on stage and want to take distracting slides off the screen.
