Creating your presentation slides with Latex (Beamer) is quick and easy when you have a template to based on. I've created one example describing the main features that an average user might need and setted to different templates. You can run by typing:

$ pdflatex file.tex

Enjoy :-)

I had to rename template file from .tex to .txt to upload. If you were compile, rename to .tex again.

I created this template to quick access what that I most use on presentations. Things I forgot on purpose: I didn’t mentioned figures, but is easy too.

Worth seeing: for diagrams I noted that Dia exports to Latex, so It’s a quick way to insert some blocks or some UML interface. Finally, embed Python inside Latex still works too :-)

** See below ONLY if you are interested in HOW I made these templates **

Of course that I didn’t create each file by hand. I used the following lines to create two script files in order to replace the text and run pdflatex. (list.txt)

for i in `cat list.txt` ; do echo  "sed -e
's/^\\\usetheme{.*/\\\usetheme{$i}/' beamer-template.tex > $i-example.tex" ; done
> script.sh
for i in `cat list.txt` ; do echo "pdflatex $i-example.tex" ; done >
script-make.sh
