R Slidify Tutorial

The following code installs slidify in R.

## Including the required R packages.
packages <- c('devtools', 'stringi')
if (length(setdiff(packages, rownames(installed.packages()))) > 0) {
  install.packages(setdiff(packages, rownames(installed.packages())))  
}

library(devtools)

install_github('ramnathv/slidify')
install_github('ramnathv/slidifyLibraries')

library(slidify)
author('Slidify')

That last command should create ~/Slidify/index.Rmd for you.

index.Rmd should be opened automatically for you.

Set the title, subtitle, and author.

---
title       : Your Title Here
subtitle    : Your subtitle here
author      : Me
job         : Cool Guy
framework   : io2012
highlighter : highlight.js
hitheme     : tomorrow
widgets     : [bootstrap, quiz]
mode        : selfcontained
knit        : slidify::knit2slides
---

We're including the widgets "bootstrap, quiz" to support interactive slides.

To create a slide, include the following code per slide.

--- .class #id 
## A Slide Title

This is my first slide.

Separate slides with 3 dashes.

To preview the slideshow, run the command:

slidify('index.Rmd')

Then open your folder, navigate into the presentation folder, and double-click index.html.

Any time you modify a slide, run the command again.

slidify('index.Rmd')

Then refresh the web page to see the results.

Slidify automatically creates a git repository for you.

This makes publishing easy.

1. Commit your local changes to git, under the branch name "gh-pages".
2. Create a repository on GitHub.
3. Push your repository to GitHub.
4. Access your presentation at http://username.github.io/project-name
