Presentations? We don't need no stink'n Powerpoint!

I gave a “bootcamp” style presentation today at work on Test Driven Development on Rails. I was struggling to figure out what tool to use to actually compose and give the presentation. S5 is a tool from Eric Meyer that uses XHTML, Javascript, and CSS to make a web-based presentation. It’s really cool. Rather than all the typing needed to write valid XHTML, I wrote a Ruby script to convert Textile to S5. I’ve included the Ruby code needed and my TDD presentation.

BTW, you can view the live presentation here

For my last presentation (on Ajax), I made a javascript-heavy web presentation and went through it on full screen with Safari. For my next presentation, I’m definitely gonna use S5 (with Textile). Thanks for the tip.

I remember looking at the XHTML needed for S5 and thinking that there needs to be a better way. I opted for PowerPoint but you went a step further. Thanks!

Yea, I suck. I couldn’t remember how/who pointed me to S5. Thanks, Dave.
