For my seminar course on Software Design, I did a talk on Software Configuration Management. Here are my slides and reference docs.
I discussed SCM from the management persepective for the most part, but included some theoretical ideas when discussing the various tools to highlight benefits or drawbacks of them.
I did the presentation using Keynote 2. I’m impressed! The interface is much more intuitive and easier to use than PowerPoint or OpenOffice’s Impress. I especially like the cool OS X’ed slide transition effects. But most useful part about it is the dual headed operation. Being able to customize the view on the screen infront of me with my notes, time, current and next slides was great. It is interesting to note that the Keynote file format is an uncompressed directory, see the link to the slides to browse into my slides .key. I wonder why they don’t go the OpenOffice route of a zip file, a la .jar sytle. What are the benefits to keeping it uncompressed? It still take several seconds to save, which was the only thing that irritated me, but I just thought it was because it was compressing the high res images that were included.
