I’ve been presenting up a storm recently: mostly because I have been on a presentation skills course ;) where I learnt a lot of the soft skills about how to be a better presenter. For that course I had to present with slides on something I knew about, so I choose LINQ. You can watch me do my presentation (it’s a mere 7min) or grab a copy of the slides.

After all that was done I have been presenting on the joys of jQuery recently, and rather than actually bore the audience with slides and constant switching to demos I decided to build a presentation system in jQuery which did both the slides and demos. Which you can view below. A few notes on it, to move to the next slide you need to click the globes at the top or press = and pressing - will make you move back a slide. You can also press the print button in the top section to give you a single page print view (i.e. stripped of colours & with my slide notes). What is great is that the entire thing is a single html page and about 100 lines of JavaScript for the slideshow system. Click the thumb nail below to view it:
