JavaWord VS mdp

MS Word has entered the editor wars

You're joking, but....

Word can be used as a Java IDE as well

If you program in java then you may be in luck!

It depends on what you are presenting. I found [mdp](https://github.com/visit1985/mdp) to be very useful when presenting a tech talk. It is easy to copy and paste from the source material, it can be done all via the terminal, and it views well as a README on github.

Here is an example of a presentation I gave:

It is absolutely possible. Use Lynx for web browsing, use TMUX for split screen, use BC for calculator, use KHAL for calendar and of course use RTV for Reddit. :-) Here is a great list of CLI apps: https://github.com/agarrharr/awesome-cli-apps Here are some of my favorites though: - https://github.com/GothenburgBitFactory/timewarrior - https://github.com/IonicaBizau/idea - https://github.com/jeffkowalski/geeknote - https://github.com/insanum/sncli - https://github.com/visit1985/mdp - https://github.com/astefanutti/decktape - https://github.com/insanum/gcalcli - https://github.com/pimutils/khal - https://dianne.skoll.ca/projects/remind/ - https://github.com/zquestz/s - https://github.com/yudai/gotty - https://github.com/axiros/terminal_markdown_viewer - https://github.com/chubin/wttr.in - https://github.com/schachmat/wego - https://github.com/tldr-pages/tldr

I use pandoc to convert markdown to powerpoint decks, it's a great workflow as you can preview and tweak the content and then apply the firm theme before the presentation.

If all you need is text on your slides, then mdp could be fun! I used it during an interview a while back.

Hmmm.. interesting. I used mdp a few times - perhaps I should give this one a whirl.

Have you ever heard of terminal based presentations with mdp?
