- beejay, on 10/12/2007, -0/+46Does anyone else find the phrase "100+ powerpoint presentations" a huge turn off?
- supergwiz, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12if you actually clicked on the link you would find that the title is wrong. They are NOT powerpoint files. They are web-based presentation slides; no M$ software needed.
- DarthTurducken, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4no digg
Still waiting for "100+ Dead Sea Scrolls for improving your understanding of String Theory" - suckfone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Yeah, I don't really understand the appeal of powerpoint for things like this. I don't know about everyone else, but having bullet points backflip across my screen for no apparent reason doesn't give me any more information. It gives me an epileptic seizure.
- CaptainSanchez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3"IE is not supported - please use Firefox, Safari, Konqueror or just about anything else."
lolls. - troon, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Look up portable firefox.
Damn, these captchas are getting harder. Maybe I'm evolving into a spambot. - deepsub, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2This post is useless without pictures. :D
Seriously, though, there must be a ton of overlap in all these tutorials. A more concise list of KNOWN GOOD tutorials would be much more desirable. - quakefiend, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3try knoppix

- DooDah, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1hahaha, accessability peeps, yeah that does include explorer especially as 90% of the world use it.
anti-microsoft is not productive....o_0......why can't we learn to get along.
no digg for the lack of accessability....are they tryin to prove something......?
yeah 100 pps does put me off hahahahah......why would someone write that? - bradleyland, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1It opens fine with IE for me *shrugs*
- abyssknight, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Very bad layout, very good details but not for newbs.
- rhettnyedotorg, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Don't you mean **Open Office Presenter .ppt** files?
- macbirdie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Marked as lame for not working in my spankin' shiny new IE7 Beta 2.
- Bigcat1021, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"Being a senior in college, i have seen far too much PPT in recent years and have learned very little from them."
Unfortunately, this situation gets far worse once you enter the workforce. - ericdfields, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That was my very first thought. Being a senior in college, i have seen far too much PPT in recent years and have learned very little from them. PPTs are supposed to assist the speaker and engage the audeience with what they are trying to say and, ideally, make it stick. PPT on its own should not be a learning device.
- Modulo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1"who cares if its powerpoint" umm.. scroll up. apparently almost everyone. Good way to learn about PHP? From the reaction of everyone so far, I'm thinking, big no.
- skrinak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I can't get these presentations to work on mac or pc with safari, IE or firefox.
- CaughtThinking, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2.NET? lol.
- manbergur, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0who cares if its powerpoint.. im wondering what people think about this being a good way to learn about PHP
- Inkling, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2100+ presentations seem like a lot, but the first presentation says "switch to .NET" and it saves you a lot of time.
- xst4t1kx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0100 .ODF's on why not to use PowerPoint for making presentations on subjects people would otherwise take seriously.
- zengonzo, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0'100+ powerpoint presentations on improving your PHP skills'
Powerpoint presentations .. on improving your PHP .. - ifor, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Trying to access this at work and I got this message:
IE is not supported - please use Firefox, Safari, Konqueror or just about anything else.
I agree with the sentiment, but can't do anything about that until I get home. I've even got Microsoft Powerpoint on this PC. - martian, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1I can't imagine any decent programmer taking the time to make a PowerPoint presentation on how to write better code; Programmers write text.
- gravityboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0Exactly... it's like hell come to Earth
- EllisAshbrook, on 10/12/2007, -7/+6yeahhhhhh
- tablatronix, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Its quirks mode html wtf is this no IE ***** ?
oh and its not powerpoint for the 10th time.
***** lame. - xst4t1kx, on 10/12/2007, -1/+0more like "Hell Comes To Frog Town".
- Porsche944, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Wow what a horrible site for one it's broken in IE. Fire up firefox and reading any of these presentations is a tedious task. Three works a slide 3 mouse clicks for a new slide. Margins all wrong this site is terrible marked as lame. I don't need to spend all my time fighting with the browser and website to get 4 words at a time.
- FelixWankel, on 10/12/2007, -3/+1As much as I love PHP, that's probably not a bad strategy. Most of the enterprise-level places I've worked swear by JSP or .NET. There are some 'enterprise-level' apps written in PHP, but I think it is hacked together enough to discourage enterprise use. Not that the 'enterprise' languages aren't without their flaws, too. Dugg anyway because I love PHP.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+0related news on http://www.awordabout.com
- frankbardon, on 10/12/2007, -6/+1Not really. It'd be nice to see a consolidated interface or something though.
