Adds a slide deck for each course chapter so instructors can teach the chapter or give a visual walkthrough of it.

What's included

slides/ has one .pptx per chapter (00–07, 125 slides in total) and a README.md that lists the decks.

Each deck uses the same structure:

  • Title slide, then an "In this chapter" overview of the sections.
  • Section divider at the start of each section.
  • Concept, exercise, and "Your turn" slides that use the chapter's screenshots and "From the studio" illustrations.
  • Closing slide with key takeaways, a link to reopen the chapter, and a link to the next chapter. Chapter 07 links to the course home instead.

Every slide has speaker notes with the detail from the chapter. The decks use only Arial and Courier New. Body text is at least 12.5 pt so it is readable in a large room.

Design

  • Title slides: a blue glow in the top-right and a small green glow in the bottom-left, both with flowing white lines and a dot grid. The center stays white behind the title.
  • Other slides: a small corner glow in the top-right that uses the same pattern.

Screenshots

  • Each screenshot is cropped to the part of the UI the slide talks about, with complete rows, menus, and dialogs. No text is cut off at an edge.
  • Numbered callouts show only when the full set fits in the crop. The build removes partial callouts and arrows from the image, and leaves the original course screenshots unchanged.

Matches the current course

The decks match main as of this PR, including:

  • The retaken screenshots in chapters 01, 03, 04, and 07.
  • The app v1.1.26 features: Retry with a different model, prompt history, voice dictation, tool permissions, drag-and-drop file attachments, the main slash commands, and the Run button on code snippets.
  • The simplified chapter 06 text.
  • Chapter 07's "Run in the cloud off" step and the new Workflow and Automation completed triggers.

Review notes

  • The decks are binary files only. The PR does not change course content or sample app code.
  • The decks total about 15 MB. The largest is 2.8 MB.

Add a presentation deck for each chapter (00-07) under slides/, plus a
README that lists the decks and describes their structure.

Add soft green and blue gradient splashes to each title slide and a small
corner glow on the other slides.

Shrink the gradient images. PowerPoint stores a copy of the corner glow on
every slide, so the larger image added about 1.5 to 2 MB per deck.

Show the numbered callouts only when the full set fits in the crop. Remove
partial callouts and arrows from the other crops, and widen the canvas
evidence crop so its highlight box is complete.

Crop the screenshot to the whole Projects menu so both numbered callouts
and every menu item fit.

Crop list, menu, and dialog screenshots to complete rows and controls so no
text is cut off at an edge, and remove empty margins so UI text is larger.
Replace the unreadable plugin marketplace capture with a clean summary card.

Title slides now use a blue splash in the top-right and a small green glow
in the bottom-left, both with flowing white lines and a dot grid. The corner
glow on every other slide uses the same pattern.

Chapter 01: add a prompt box slide for Retry, prompt history, and voice
dictation, and mention tool permissions on the modes slide.
Chapter 02: mention drag-and-drop file attachments and add a slash
command overview slide.
Chapter 03: mention the Run button on code snippets.

Screenshots and illustrations now use the alt text from the course
chapters. The GitHub link icons describe their link. Gradients and
icons are marked as decorative. This replaces the local file paths
that were used as alt text.
