# Creating technical API documentation and presentations using org-babel, restclient, and org-treeslide
Jan Ypma

[[!inline pages="internal(2021/info/tech-schedule)" raw="yes"]]

The emacs org-babel package is often mentioned in conjunction with
literate programming. The ability to mix code segments with prose
indeed offers an intuitive way to augment semantic code pieces with
textual descriptions.

In recent projects, I've started to turn to org-mode as the primary
format to maintain technical documentation, as well as slides for a
technical language course. By using org-babel to pull in "live" code
for REST requests, language examples, and shell scripts, one can be
sure that the documentation and slides are never out of date.

The session will show how leverage org-babel, restclient and
org-treeslide to write and present technical documentation with style.
