Manta Tools Overview
This deck is a brief overview of tools that are useful for Manta operators. It's inspired by Trent Mick's Some Tools I Use and Advanced DTrace: Tips, Tricks, and Gotchas.
This deck is still pretty rough.

Format and "build"
This repository contains both source files and generated files. To view the deck, just look at the generated files in the "docs" directory. Editing the deck requires more work.
The "manta-tools.md" Markdown file contains the source for the talk's content. It's intended to be used with "reveal.js". Unfortunately, it's not clear how to effectively package a Markdown-based "reveal.js" talk. Here's what's been done to generate the sources here today. From the root of a clone of this repo:
$ git clone https://github.com/hakimel/reveal.js deps-reveal.js
...
$ cd deps-reveal.js/
$ git checkout 3.6.0
$ npm install
$ cp ../manta-tools.htm ../manta-tools.md .
$ npm start
Then:
- Load in Chrome:
http://localhost:8000/manta-tools.htm
- Right-click the page and click "Save As..."
- Navigate to the root of the clone of this repository and save the file as type "Webpage, Complete" called "docs/index.html".
git add
and commit the newly-added files.
Improvements to this process would be most welcome, including possibly
converting the source of the deck into a format more suitable for packaged
presentations (or even a format that works for mdpress
, which interprets
nested code blocks differently than reveal.js does here, even though it uses
reveal.js).
