| 34 | +You start by writing down the core concepts that you will be talking about. Then sort and format |
| 35 | +them as a pinpoint presentation in a text editor of your choice. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +If this was a presentation given as a demonstration of pinpoint you would now be trying to read |
| 38 | +this slide as well as pay attention to what is said. Less than ideal. |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +Pinpoint reloads the presentation when it changes on disk, very useful when you're tuning things |
| 41 | +so keep both pinpoint and your text editor open. And remember, the less text you have, the happier |
| 42 | +your audience will be ;-) |
| 43 | + |
| 44 | + |
| 45 | +- You can add '\n' before and after the slide text to keep the file tidy and slides seperated |
