Presentacular, an AJAXian web PowerPoint
Or, PowerPoint cloned for the web. The bells, whistles, oh, let's just say the toolset isn't there, but it's a cool proof of concept. Presentacular is a demo of Ajaxian technology used to create a browser-based presentation system. And it tastes just like the (in)famous PPT. Using Eric Meyers' S5, A Simple Standards-Based Slide Show System, and a pinch of script.aculo.us magic, Juan Manuel Caicedo has created what could be a great tool for those totally boring PowerPoint presentations. Only now everyone could create them online for free. Just think, instead of a heartfelt missive to your loved ones across the world, you could send them vibrating bullet point of warmness!Actually, I think this a very cool thing. Hard to find something not to like about Ajax lately. Dale Asberry has the right idea. Can somebody think of a way to add Google maps to this?
