The user documentation is divided into two main (overlapping) catetories: producing your own presentations (authors), and presenting those presentations (presenters).

If you’re interested in developing the code that generates those presentations, those docs are here.

If you just want to use one of the presentations we have published, as is, click 'Presentations' in the site navigation menu, and present directly from there. See also Presentation Tips for a few ideas of what’s possible.

However, you will probably want to make some small edits to adapt the presentation to your topic, and for that you’ll need to get a local copy of the repository. This will require, at a minimum:

Installation details for your preferred operating system are currently To Be Documented.

To get a local copy of the tools and presentations:

This will install (if you don’t have them already) all of the tooling, and build the default presentations.

Currently the setup uses Asciidoctor to write content and builds the presentation using Apache Maven and Reveal.JS.

If you want to use the latest development version of the Apache Training tooling, please still use the latest released archetype. Otherwise, the archetype plugin will not be able to find the SNAPSHOT version of the archetype. As generally most changes apply to the parent being used in the slides module, you can update to the latest version by:

Adding the following section to the generated pom.xml:

After adding this you can update the parent version to the latest SNAPSHOT version and Maven should be able to find it.
