6 New Mac Apps for Designers and Developers This series is supported by Rackspace, the better way to do hosting. Learn more about Rackspace's hosting solutions here. Mac OS X is a popular platform for developers and designers of all stripes. Mac OS X is a popular choice because it combines the power of BSD and other UNIX and UNIX-like systems with an elegant user interface. There is also a really robust and talented community of developers for Mac OS X, making some of the best apps around for designers and developers alike. As the end of summer approaches, we wanted to highlight six more Mac apps that have been released in the last few month for developers and designers. 1. Indie shop The Escapers just released version 3.0 of its fantastic website design program, Flux. It offers a visual and code-based approach to page design, along with support for plugins and code snippets, support for HTML5 and HTML5 video, ePub, WebKit transforms and other effects, and the Google Font API. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

Prezi Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Prezi est un logiciel de présentation édité par la société hongroise éponyme, créé et lancé à Budapest en 2009. La société, qui emploie 200 salariés basés à Budapest, San Francisco et en Corée[1], revendique, depuis 2009, 50 millions d'utilisateurs à travers le monde. Histoire[modifier | modifier le code] L'outil est créé par Ádám Somlai-Fischer en 2009, avec la collaboration du professeur Péter Halácsy (Université polytechnique et économique de Budapest) et de l'entrepreneur Péter Árvai. En 2010, la startup est "saluée" par les organisateurs de Conférence TED et lève 14 millions de dollars en 2011 auprès d'Accel Partners, un fonds d'investissement américain. La même année, Prezi est repérée par Barack Obama qui intègre la startup au projet ConnectED au côté d'Apple, Microsoft et AT&T. Le 2 avril 2014 Prezi lance une version française[3].

Welcome to CogTool | CogTool Prezi Is The Coolest Online Presentation Tool I've Ever Seen At last week’s The Next Web Conference, I was part of the 4-headed jury that evaluated all presenting startups and ultimately decided My Name Is E should be awarded the top prize. It was an extremely close call, since we ended up having to decide between the young Dutch company and a startup that built a simply amazing web application you’re really going to want to check out. The tool I’m referring to is called Prezi, and it allows you to create amazing presentations on the web. If you think you’ve heard that too many times, don’t stop reading just yet, because this one is just plain awesome. It’s an entirely Flash-based app that lets you break away from the slide-by-slide approach of most presentations. Instead, it allows you to create non-linear presentations where you can zoom in and out of a visual map containing words, links, images, videos, etc. Try it out and let us know how your presentations come out!
visualizing.org: a New Shared and Free Resource on Data Visualization Visualizing [visualizing.org] has just been released as the latest online player in the ever-increasing blogosphere about the topic of data visualization. But Visualizing is different in many ways. For one, the man behind the Visualizing initiative is Adam Bly, founder and Editor-in-Chief of Seed and one of the people behind the impressive Design and the Elastic Mind exhibition at MoMA. While Visualizing.org's mission is to help make data visualization figure more prominently across the web as a way of understanding complex world issues as they unfold, it is not a weblog in the classic sense. The website has just been launched and it officially still in beta, but many more features are planned. In any case, infosthetics.com highly welcomes this new initiative. What do you think of this new initiative?
Why I hate Prezi One of the many jokes about Powerpoint is how much time people who use it spend picking transitions between slides. They spend more time picking out animations, and which wipe effects to use, than they do thinking about what goes on the slides themselves. Or what their audience needs to learn and how best to convey those lessons. Because of how Powerpoint, and Keynote, are constructed, other common habits for creating presentations are equally flawed. Popular presentation tools focus on slides, which should not be the focus at all. In Chapter 5 of Confessions of a Public Speaker, I explain the best way to prepare for a presentation. I first saw a demo of Prezi years ago, and it seemed interesting. I’ve experimented with many different ways to present. The people most drawn to use Prezi are those who are more enchanted by the pretense of style, rather than substance. If anyone has seen a great talk done with Prezi, please leave a comment.
About Us PREZI: pour des présentations qui ZOOM! La semaine dernière, Les Affaires publiait un dossier sur la créativité qui m’a beaucoup plu. On vous promettait notamment de vous apprendre à devenir plus créatif en 7 jours… Quelle belle proposition! Inspirée par cette initiative, je me suis donnée comme mission cette semaine de vous proposer un outil qui vous permettra d’ajouter de la créativité dans un domaine qui en manque cruellement : la présentation corporative! Si vous êtes comme moi, vous entretenez une relation amour-haine avec Powerpoint. C’est un instrument facile à utiliser, mais qui peut se retourner contre tout utilisateur qui manque d’imagination. Avec Keynote, certains effets sont venus ajouter du oumf! Il faut le voir pour le comprendre, mais la principale différence entre une présentation standard et une présentation PREZI, c’est la scénarisation et plus précisément le fil conducteur qui fait toute la différence, un peu comme dans une histoire. À la semaine prochaine! Stéphanie Urgence numérique - Dernière chance!
