Looks like it was Lawrence Lessig who first brought the method into our community (technically inclined content aficionados) with his lectures.

- _delirium 16y agoI think the style that Lessig popularized is a bit more extreme, along the lines of one slide per second or two, often with sentences split up across slides, and transitions synchronized with gestures or intonation. That makes the slides sort of a performance-art prop.
- riffraff 16y agoI would blame/credit audrey tang, pugs and the lambdacamels for popularizing the takahashi method[0] (notable difference from lessig's style is the lack of non-text content). My feeling about this is mostly anecdotical, but during the days of crazy pugs development a massive number of hackers from different communities was exposed to what was happening, tools designed for building such presentations bloomed, and, well, after that time I've seen a lot more of those :) [0] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takahashi_method http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takahashi_method
