I am going to be giving an intro presentation / training class on Ruby on Rails soon. I would like to make it interesting and engaging while still seeming "polished". Since it's a hands-on class most people will be building an app along with me, I want to be able to show my terminal/editor and show the resulting web pages, however I'd like to not be always switching between windows. Keynote used to have the ability to embed webpages into slides, but it was removed, and PowerPoint Mac support seems iffy. There doesn't seem to be any way to embed a terminal window.
Does anyone have a recommendation for presentation software that might be able to help? Have you seen a good live coding talk recently that I could check out? Are there any tricks that you know that make your presentation seem more "professional"?
Highlight only the specific parts you want your audience to focus on. Presenting code on your slides usually results in a wall of text. Highlight only the specific parts you want your audience to focus on. Presenting code on your slides usually results in a wall of text.
Some of the best presentation software are Visme, Prezi, SlideDog, Haiku Deck, Slidebean, Powtoon and Zoho Show and others like Google Slides, Microsoft PowerPoint and Apple Keynote.
