“Very Good (Free) Remote Slides Presentation Software”

Tuesday, December 12th, 2006

Daniel Lemire, computer science professor up at Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) says slidePresenter is just what he’s been looking for:

I have been looking long and hard for a way to project slides remotely. I once proposed, on my site, that the ideal solution might be AJAX-based. I used with some success Webhuddle and even wrote a script to convert PDF files to a zip file of gif images for this purpose, but I don’t like to rely on a Java applet. I further tested Vyew which is AJAX-based, but found that it had unacceptable limitations (like the 50 slides limit!).

Finally, I found what I was looking for! slidePresenter is a great piece of software you can install on your server.
