The power of Markdown

Markdown is a lightweight markup language with plain text formatting syntax, designed to be converted to HTML and many other formats using a tool by the same name.

I made this conference for my teammates at [Optimyzet](http://www.optimyzet.com/) –most of them designers– to help them write quick notes in a more efficient and smart way.

Just watch my slides if you want to become a Markdown wizard in 10 minutes.
