in a flexible and powerful way. To learn more read these
HolyCow!-generated slides.

Why
Once you get used to using HolyCow! (as we have) you will never want to
go back to PowerPoint or hacking some HTML slides. Ever went somewhere with your PowerPoint
presentation and found that they had an incompatible version, or
that fonts were missing ? With HolyCow! you can directly put your slides online
and travel light.
Other advantages illustrate some of the capabilities:
complete:includes all that belongs to a course (not just slides, but also labs, examples, resources etc) integrated: integrate your code examples and labs within the slides (no copy/paste) web-enabled output reuse: reuse lessons/modules for tailor-made courses multi-skin: change look and feel (logos, colors, buttons) instantaneously multi-platform: all XML and Java, output is HTML and PDF powerful DHTML browsing through Just Objects XMenu (hierarchical list) or plain HTML with -lite option PowerPoint-presentation-like slide change with keystrokes (type 'h' in a slide for help) local browsing of generated materials, no need to run a server include applets in your slides (especially for the Java folks) meta info: generate flyer and program content catalog: generate catalog and planning for larger projects joint projects: combine with CVS to work together on materials
Audience
The main audience for HolyCow! are developers of course materials, although you can also
put your photo album online. See e.g. www.skeeler.org
