What an Interface Can Do

This is a presentation on the subject of interfaces in Go, presented at the Utah Go User Group on 4 November 2014.

It is written using reveal.js, a nifty HTML5 slideshow framework. As such, it is a clone of that project's github repository.

I wasn't sure which of the reveal.js project files were necessary to make the slideshow work, and I didn't have time to figure it out, so I just cloned the entire project.

The differences between this project and reveal.js are as follows:

• index.html has been edited to contain my presentation.
• The code subdirectory has been added. It contains
  • sample Go programs (p*.go)
  • PNG files generated by the sample Go programs
  • various other pictures used to illustrate the talk
• highlight.js has been updated to version 8.3.

Upgrading highlight.js

I just wanted to change the code highlighting style. Reveal.js has only one code-highlighting theme, zenburns.css, and zenburns.css does not go well with the reveal.js theme I wanted to use: simple. The highlight.js idea theme is a much better match to the reveal.js simple theme.

The design of highlight.js has changed since reveal.js included it, so it was not sufficient to just copy over idea.css from the current highlight.js; it was necessary to upgrade highlight.js itself. That change is reflected in plugin/highlight/highlight.js.
