XML::Handler::AxPoint – AxPoint XML to PDF Slideshow generator

This module is a port and enhancement of the AxKit presentation tool, AxPoint. It takes an XML description of a slideshow, and generates a PDF. The resulting presentations are very nice to look at, possibly rivalling PowerPoint, and almost certainly better than most other freeware presentation tools on Unix/Linux.
The presentations support slide transitions, PDF bookmarks, bullet points, source code (fixed font) sections, images, colours, bold and italics, hyperlinks, and transition effects for all the bullet points, source, and image sections.

And some examples.

Fighting Techniques

Extreme Programming vs. Interaction Design, a worth while read even if you are not directly a developer. The problem with Interaction Design, from the piece, is the assumption that people are stupid and don’t know what they are doing. What I have found so compelling about the XP ideas is the assumption that people are smart and capiable if given the opportunity and framework to shine. Or that is at least my interpetation.
