In one presentation for example I will present decorators and context managers, and my biggest doubt is how much I should show and explain in slides and how much in an interactive way (with ipython for example). For my experience if I only see code in slides I tend not to believe that it works somehow, but also only looking at someone typing can be hard to follow and understand what is going on.. So maybe I should do first slides and then interactive demo, or the other way around, showing first how everything works and then explaining the code with slides. What do you think work best in general?
