Hello all,

I work on Linux. I know smalltalk reasonably well. I don't know the 
Squeak 2D Apis. I am interested in using Squeak as a platform to develop 
more engaging slideshow presentations. My talks are normally about 
formal  methods in programming language semantics. I'm tired of the 
tedium of slides produced by beamer.

I saw the keynote by Alan Kay in 2004 at OOPSLA.  I want to make 
presentations like that.  Can anyone confirm that the slides for that 
talk were written in Squeak?

The Sophie project is a close fit for what I want. I was just wondering 
if there was any other work written  in Squeak that I could look at that 
relates to my goal.  In particular I would be interested in any 
presentations/slide shows that were written in Squeak as one-offs to see 
roughly how much is required for a  'from scratch'  slide show as I 
generally prefer to sit on top of my own code when possible.

Is there a FAQ about this topic?

Cheers,
Ben
