% Using Slate: Programming Tutorials % Peter van Huisstede % [Time-stamp: <2020-11-11 09:34:26 (peter)>]
The idea is very simple: Use Slate to teach programming. Slate is used to document the API's of programs. It has a two-pane view and can deal with code snippets. It teams up with Github (public repositories). It is Markdown text.
The main questions were:
- Can it be used for programming tutorials (self-study)?
- Can one combine the text with questions? Answers?
In order to explore these and other questions, we used the small textbook "Introduction to C" by Delores M. Etter and transcribed it into Slate.
