Great Powerpoint Presentations in Philadelphia . . . not!

Gotta love it! PPP - Powerpoint Presentations in Philadelphia. I just made that up. It's a shame this article isn't about Powerpoint. I create presentations on a daily bases. I also know a little bit about creating web pages. So I said to myself. We can't I combine the two processes. Let's see would that be web presentations. I mean I don't use the internet when I do these presentations. I didn't realize right away what a fantastic idea I just had. If you know anything at all about web pages, you know satisfying all the operating systems and web browser possibilities out there is a pain. Think about my situation. I could all of a sudden choose what web browser to use. I mean, I use Firefox now and love it. Probably just because I can use the web developer add-on.
Then I had the great idea to investigate to see which web browser is the best to use for my presentations. Or better yet, what would be the best browser to use if I was using web pages generated on my computer. Of course, this has nothing to do with Philadelphia. Hey, it's my blog and I'll do what I want with it! Ha Ha! Boy was I surprised. Doing a search on web browsers I was directed to wikipedia (of course!). I'm thinking there are maybe six or so browsers out there. WOW! There are a lot more out there than I thought. Wikipedia gave a great comparison an all the web browsers. I quickly picked three I thought looked interesting. I selected Opera, Safari and Midori. No scientific reason. Just did a quick visual on the possibilities.
Well, I made the furtunate choice of checking out safari first. What an eyeopener. Animation built into the browser? Are you kidding me? With that and my newfound love of jquery, I think we may have something here! I have a feeling I won't be using Powerpoint for my presentations anymore.
I started laying out a couple of presentations, and the idea looks very promising. Ready for this. Guess what I'm using for my great presentations. I am using frames. What I noticed right away is that I can add chapters, or keep all my related presentations together. Kinda like a Table of Contents. I can immediately refer back to a point I made in past lessons. It's hard to make great presentations like this using Powerpoint. I would have to wait for the entire program to open up with the proper presentation I need. Not to mention having to go through the file system to find the Powerpoint file.
Of course linking is what web pages and browsers are all about. I can link to web pages that containg Flash, Video and images to just name a few. My mind is going crazy here. I'm thinking Photoshop Slideshows. Can you imagine? Complete control of a presentation.
I kinda got sidetracked there. After seeing what was built into Safari I didn't even bother to look at the other web browsers I was looking at. So, I downloaded the open source program. No problems so far. Well, when I went to install I got an error message. Figures. Details to follow on that my friends.
So, even though this is not about great presentations using Powerpoint in Philadelphia, maybe I can help some people make better presentations without the cost. Oh yeah. Maybe I forgot to mention. Both the web browser Safari and the Javascript Library jquery are free. Gotta love it! Time to go make some great presentations. Oh, and of course since I am here, they will be great presentations in Philadelphia. There, I tied it into Philadelphia. Would love to here some comments on this.
