Preparing a presentation usually means creating some sort of slides. The more data beamer equipment gets common in working environments, the more comes to mind creating such presentation material as a screen version, which can be viewed using a data beamer or at least a computer screen. As a side effect such presentations can usually easily be presented on a website.
This document tries to show some possible solutions for creating screen based presentations. Most of the listed solutions are (La)TeX-based because I personally prefer (La)TeX - and derived tools - over other documentation systems. So called Office Solutions and commercial tools are not listed.
This list for sure is far from being complete. If you know of any other solution please let me know so that I can include it in this document.
Contributions are very welcome.

Great resource! But you should include PROSPER (http://prosper.sourceforge.net/)!

The TeXPower bundle contains style and class files for creating dynamic online presentations with LaTeX. The heart of the bundle is the package texpower.sty which implements some commands for presentation effects. This includes page transitions, color highlighting and displaying pages incrementally.
On-line presentations with LaTeX, hyper+left, foil insertion, printout on foil in the same Design! Document is in the pdf file.
ifmslide provides both: getting a presentation with PDFLaTeX and printouts with LaTeX and - as a side effect - simple production of your slides using your favourite DVI-viewer. You don't need PPower4 to get all these nice effects with page-transitions and stepwise building of the pages. All you need is TeXPower and hyperref.sty for the links and buttons etc. ifmslide makes use of the special features of the classes seminar and powersem (part of TeXPower).
My first attempt is to use TeXPower for presentattion; and for producing handouts, use ifmslide. Actually, TeXPower can prepared for printout too, and The ifmslide is just too primitive.
TeXPower is really feature rich. The fulldemo.pdf shows it fully. The reason I like it is its pdf only solution. One drawback, though, the TeXPower is a dead project. It is "a pre-alpha version", with the readme file last changed on Jun 23, 2000, texpower.sty dated 29-Nov-2000. No fully document. Good part is that examples are plenty.
