Feel free to use your own slide templates, or use one of the templates provided below. The "Wiki format presentation" template has some general hints and tips for a good presentation.

[edit] Template: PDF format presentation

PDF files can be created from many applications, or by using a printer driver that creates PDF files. Please don't upload the original format but rather only the PDF file created from your original format.

[edit] Template: Wiki format presentation

Copy this presentation template to a text editor or use it directly for the appropriate MySQL University session page.

=== Title of your session ===
* Give an overview of the whole presentation
* Try to restrict your overview to 5 main bullet points:
** First topic
** Second topic
** Third topic
** Fourth topic
** Fifth topic

==== Title of 1st overview slide (1:0) ====
* Give an overview of the next couple of slides to come, like this:
** First topic
*** First sub-topic
*** Second sub-topic
*** Etc. (yes, that looks pretty much like a table of contents)
* If you use only few (10 or less) slides, there's no need for overview slides, in which case you may want to move the following sub-slides' headings up one level

===== Title of 1st sub-slide (1:1) =====
* Remember
* Only 20 words per slide
* Yes, that's a challenge :-)

===== Title of 2nd sub-slide (1:2) =====
* Here's a code example

 /* This is a code example */
 /* You'll probably need more than 20 words on this slide */
 /* Try to keep it short, anyway, by: */
 /* ... (using ellipses) */
 /* '''highlighting''' the '''most important''' parts */

* Avoid giving explanations for that code example on the slide
* Rather than that, explain during the presentation

===== Title of 3rd sub-slide (1:3) =====
* Here's a code example with a reference

 /* This is an example<ref>Details: http://example.com/this-example/example.html</ref> */
 /* This is another example<ref>Details: http://example.com/another-example</ref> */

===== Title of 4th sub-slide (1:4) =====
* If you can, use pictures and diagrams

[[Image:Example.jpg]]

* Use standalone pictures, or at least add very few words to slides containing pictures

===== Title of 5th sub-slide (1:5) =====
* If you must use tables, keep them short

<table>
<tr><th>1st column header</th><th>2nd column header</th></tr>
<tr><td>1st column value</td><td>2nd column value</td></tr>
<tr><td>1st column value</td><td>2nd column value</td></tr>
<tr><td>1st column value</td><td>2nd column value</td></tr>
<tr><td>1st column value</td><td>2nd column value</td></tr>
</table>

==== Title of 2nd overview slide (2:0) ====
* (copy from above)

===== Title of 1st sub-slide (2:1) =====
* (you get the idea)
