I forget which book, but he did speak about using handouts as an alternative to hierarchical text-rich slides; especially where a lot of tabular information has to be exchanged. Other than than, keep slides, but avoid the bulletpoints that are the hallmark of oh-so-many powerpoint presentations and use other big visuals instead. Absolutely anything that Hans Rosling has ever done would be a good example of this approach. -- Kevin Wright gtalk / msn : [email protected] <[email protected]>mail: [email protected] vibe / skype: kev.lee.wright twitter: @thecoda -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
