There are some HTML-based tools out there (reveal.js, slidy, impress.js, deck.js ...) for building slide-based presentations for conference talks.

But you usually have to write your slides in raw HTML. This feels cumbersome when you're used to writing LISP s-expressions with paredit. And if you want to build in more interactivity, you have to be proficient in JavaScript.

Last week I gave a presentation at QCon in London for which I built a slide-deck in Om. This proved (far) easier than my previous failed attempts with other technologies (including vanilla ClojureScript).

I've found that ClojureScript + Om/RevealJS + core.async (go-blocks) also makes a great platform for browser-based interactive SVG diagrams and animations. Not quite Flash, but almost, and in some ways better.

Anyway, I've uploaded the slides, code, instructions and everything to here: https://github.com/juxt/qcon2014. in case anyone else wants to try building an Om-based slide-deck at a future event.


These look great Malcom! It so happens that I'm presenting on core.async next month and so having some cljs interactive examples will be very helpful. Thanks for sharing!
