About LATEX
A LATEXdocument is created by editing a text file with LATEXcommands.
To transform it to a nice graphical representation it must be compiled,
using:
pdflatex slides
(where your text file is named slides.tex)
View the result using Acroread or Evince:
acroread slides.pdf&
evince slides.pdf&
Have a look inside slides.tex to see how things are coded.
If you do modifications and re-compile, type CTRL-r in Acroread or Evince.
Re-compile twice to make references update (page numbers etc.)

How to write verbatim
I typically use verbatim for computer code and Linux commands
Everything within begin{verbatim} and end{verbatim}
is written as it is written in the tex-file,
without reformatting.
There is a way to to this also with in-line text. Here I have used +
signs to start and end the verbatim, but you can use other markers.

How to comment out parts of the LATEXcode
Parts of the LATEXcode can be commented by:
\begin{comment}
commented LaTeX code
\end{comment}
This requires that the frame is defined as [fragile], as in our case.
