I wish it could be that simple. Something for me to build.

presentationPrep.js

presentation
	.title('My Great Presentation')

	.slide({
		title: 'Learn About Borders',
		bullets: [
			'Thing 1',
			'Thing 2',
		],
		code: ['path/to/file.css', [2,4]] // path to file, lines to grab
	})

	.slide({
		title: 'Learn About Margins',
		quote: 'Always remember bla bla',
		transition: 'fade' // optionally specify transitions
	})

	.slide({
		title: 'Learn About Things',
		body: 'Description that goes below the title',
		code: ['path/to/snippet', [0,3]] // path, lines
	})

	.slide({
		title: 'Learn About Whatever',
		image: 'path/to/image.jpg'
	});

Data driving a presentation like this and generating code that could be processed through impress.js ( http://bartaz.github.com/impress.js/#/bored ) would create a killer presentation package.

JSON config file might be even better.

Hey Jeffrey, great approach. Maybe some more elements could be useful for metadata and styling, like author, theme for the presentation and layout of the slide. Something like

presentation({
    .title('My Great Presentation')
        .author('Jeffrey Way')
        .theme: ['path/to/theme.css']

    .slide({
            layout: 'two-columns',
            title: 'Learn About Borders',
            bullets: [
                        'Thing 1',
                        'Thing 2',
            ....

)}

Good luck with the project, can;t wait to see the results!

@landon - The goal is to make the process as quick as possible. The whole point is to get out of creating HTML slides.

@GEDDesign - I agree.

@jim - Yeah, good point. I'll plan that.

Hey guys - here's the GitHub agenda/mission statement: https://github.com/JeffreyWay/Easy-Slides#readme

@jeffrey Another advantage might be to share and remix presentations. Could it be possible to 'hot-link' a slide, which get's updated as soon as the master-slide is updated?

{ type: 'embed',
  source: ['path/to/master-presentation.js[slide#]]'}

For example if you add a contact-slide in there somewhere, but you change contact-details later.. You could have a master contact slide, which you embed in all your presentations...
