[Off topic] Presentation / slides tools
 
|
Hi,
to create presentation / slides for courses I use Latex + HA-prosper for years. But it seems I should change to have some nicer looking slides. I also want to have a pool of slides where I can cherry pick to create a new presentation.
For Latex, beamer seems to have more audience than old prosper. I'm not against office suite tools if it's good (I remember to struggle with Power Point '97, was crap). I've choosed Latex / text files as it's easy / quick to move content from one slides to another. And I can use Emacs powers.
I feel creating diagrams is always a pain. For my last presentation I've drawn each slide on a pocket book then scan each page :) What do you use ? What is really effective (tools and/or process) to prototype quickly slides ?
Cheers,

Hi,
If you want to prototype slides quickly, use slides that only show diagrams or pictures, and possibly a handful of words :). For that, you will basically only need a good drawing tool or relevant pictures. On Mac, I use Omnigraffle and I display slides with Keynote. In any case, try to start from empty slides :) : http://www.tudorgirba.com/blog/empty-your-slides Cheers, Doru On 24 Aug 2010, at 08:00, laurent laffont wrote: > Hi, > > to create presentation / slides for courses I use Latex + HA-prosper > for years.
