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?

That is the best Ajax application, by far, I've seen so far. Incredible!
Thanks for the link. I'm already thinking how we could use this to auto-generate presentation slides on our Intranet.

I prefer AJAX-S then, that is its own product not based on S5, and has a total separation of the presentation and the data in XML.
No effects added yet, but trust me, that's the easiest of things to work. :-)
