What is esri-leaflet-dev-summit-2020?

This repo provides a ready-made slide deck template styled to match Esri's official branding. It is built on top of reveal.js, a popular open-source tool for creating presentation slides using web technologies instead of traditional presentation software. The specific instance here was created for a talk called "Building Apps with Esri Leaflet" at the 2020 Esri Developer Summit. In practical terms, this lets a speaker build a presentation as a web page. Instead of opening a desktop application to make slides, you write them using basic web code. The template handles the visual design so the resulting slides carry the familiar Esri look and feel, complete with appropriate colors and branding that match the company's standard PowerPoint templates. The audience for this is developers or technical speakers who present at Esri conferences or want their slides to align with Esri's visual identity. Using a web-based slide system like this is particularly appealing to developers because it makes it easy to embed live code demonstrations, interactive maps, and working web elements directly into the presentation. A static slide deck is harder to make interactive, but a web-based one lets the audience see actual running software during the talk. The project is essentially a jumpstart kit. Rather than building a branded presentation framework from scratch, a speaker can grab this template and focus on filling it with content. Older versions of the template are available for those who need to match a previous conference's style. The README points to the official reveal.js documentation for anyone who needs to learn how the underlying slide system works, since this repository is just the branded wrapper.
