Fathom.js

Fathom.js is a jQuery plugin that turns HTML slides into an interactive presentation controlled via keyboard, mouse, or custom JavaScript interfaces, with optional video synchronization. The tool requires only simple div markup for slides and can be configured to display one slide at a time or multiple slides in a continuous scrollable view. It provides callback hooks and methods for creating custom navigation controls and syncing presentation slides to Vimeo videos through a timeline array.

Tips and Tricks On How To Become a Presentation Ninja - Noupe Design Blog

This guide breaks presentation design into three phases—planning, producing, and performing—with the core argument that presentations are performances designed for specific audiences, not artistic expressions. Key principles include avoiding bullet points (which force audiences to process competing visual and verbal information simultaneously), using visuals to support rather than duplicate your spoken words, and applying design principles like simplicity and aesthetic beauty to build audience trust and focus. The practical workflow emphasizes extensive preparation: knowing your audience, outlining with the "tell them what you'll say, say it, tell them what you said" structure, sketching on paper before digital production, practicing four rehearsal rounds, and delivering with confident body language and strategic pauses rather than relying on notes or screens.

Introducing Slippy - HTML Presentations - Seld.be

Slippy is a lightweight HTML presentation library built on jQuery that transforms standard HTML markup into browser-based slideshows, making it especially suited for technical talks with its built-in syntax highlighting and live code execution capabilities. The tool can run JavaScript code samples in real time during presentations and display results in custom styled alert boxes rather than browser dialogs, allowing presenters to demonstrate code interactively. The project is open-source on GitHub with example slides and documentation, though the creator acknowledges it's still under development and plans to improve styling and add more comprehensive docs.
