I have been given the opportunity to give a small presentation to a group of young children about what I do as a software developer.

If I'm presenting code usually I show it in a syntax-highlighting text editor. But I've been doing more "live coding" in some presentations recently where it's important to show off some IDE tooling. How should I set up Eclipse when preparing for a presentation or demo? Is there a way to save and switch out presenter settings? Is the...

I'm specifically investigating fonts for projected presentations and printed handout notes.) There's a couple of good questions regarding screen fonts for coding. I'm putting together so...
I'm going to be doing a presentation on unit testing and in doing so I will touch on "design for testability" patterns.

I need to give a brownbag to my dev co-workers. The team is a typical Java/J2EE team, mostly using the current technologies (Grails, Spring, Hibernate, EJB, Caching, Webservices, Messaging).

By default, using \cite in the Beamer class of LaTeX places the actual citation information at the end of the presentation on a separate slide containing the bibliography.

Hi everyone, I'm doing a theatrical performance, and I need a program that can read images from a folder and display them full screen on one of the computer's VGA outputs, in a predetermined order. All it needs to do is start with the first image, and when a key is pressed (space bar, right arrow), smoothly cross-fade to the next image....

Recently, I ran across Ignite and thought that style of presentation (five minutes, 20 slides, rotated automatically after 15 seconds) could work for "brown bag" sessions. It would be a way to take a lunch hour and get through a range of topics for the purpose of knowledge sharing. Because each talk is only five minutes, it could get p...
