Hello friends you may have noticed that sometimes I use my editor as my

slides in lots of the talks that I've given over the last few years andthat was originally inspired by André Staultz who has the a blog post onhis website called your IDE as a presentation tool where he kind ofexplains why he has done that and it's a good blog post you can take a lookat that and even gives tips on how to do this effectively and stuff.

But I would just thought I'd mention why I like doing this. I actually am

working on some slides right now for.A talk that I'm giving and I I've gonethrough so many different ways of making slides like I started with youknow, Google Drive and or PowerPoint and and went on to I actually usedPrezi for a while which was fun and and slides.com is probably where mostof my slides are and I really like that one quite a bit.

I've made things simple. I used MDX deck tried to code my slides. And

finally, I've kind of landed at using my editor for my,Slides because Ithink that just makes the most sense or it's just the the easiest for thetypes of presentations that I make which involve me moving my cursor aroundthe screen highlighting text and maybe even adding text especially if Ihave some code samples or stuff or I want to like demo something.

It's all just right there in my editor I can type and add things and it

just makes things a lot a lot easier and I would be lying if I didn't addor if I didn't say that there's a piece of me that kind of likes thisapproach because it's just,Way easier to make these kinds of slides.

And I sometimes see people who make just the most beautiful slides slide

decks, and and everything is custom often like related to the conferencespecifically and and I am really impressed by that stuff and I think it'sawesome and if that's something that you want to get into that's supergreat and I'm yeah, I'm impressed by that.

That making things look good is a real struggle point for me and thinking

about like animations and stuff like that too.When I did MDX stack Istruggled a lot with making things responsive so that it would look goodregardless of the size of my screen and stuff and it was just such a pain.

So using my editor just gives me a lot of benefits and then I don't have to

worry about all the extra things that I struggle with. I use markdown forpretty much every slide and then sometimes I'll have a gif in there astechnically a slide. And you can take a look at this blog post that I'lladd a link to to get a better idea of how I do this.

Anyway, I just thought I'd share that.Maybe give it a try. See ya.
