I was working for a very cool company called Bitscribe which does weekly conference room users' group sessions. I did two sessions there, and there was a very interesting contrast. The first session, I forgot to bring the video adapter I needed. So I basically just did a session on the white board. The second time, I had the video hooked up properly, and not only that, I had video clips and audio as well. The first presentation was awesome, and the second presentation stank.

Voted down because of the title. Can we stop with "Considered Harmful"? Unless you're Dijkstra himself, use something else.

This has nothing to do with the Keynote or any other presentation software at all. It's just this author's diatribe about how bad he gives presentations. Pretty pathetic to blame the software for one's inability to present ideas in a coherent and interesting way.

Despite the sensationalist headline, it's quite a well done article and raises some valid points.

I agree the title seems very anti Apple and I will kill you for it later. (jk) The same can be said for all presentation software, giving sales presentations to execs, keynote == good. Doing a conference for coders, not so good.
The article had good stuff in it though
