Creating PowerPoint files with Officegen and Node.js #126

Closed paulbjensen closed 6 years ago

paulbjensen commented 6 years ago

It turns out that you don't need Microsoft Office to create PowerPoint files - you can create them in Node.js. In this talk I will show you how libraries like Officegen allow you to generate PowerPoint files containing text, shapes, charts and images, and demonstrate a real-world use of this tool that we've been crafting to save us some time.

My name is Paul Jensen, I'm the author of Manning's Cross Platform Desktop Applications, and I'm the Lead Innovation Engineer at Starcount. My twitter handle is paulbjensen.

Hi @paulbjensen

I think this sounds like a good lightning talk? <5-8 minutes?

@lnug/organisers - any thoughts.

If you can keep it short, I'm pretty sure we can fit you in Jan, Feb or March

@admataz agree that this could be a great lightning talk

paulbjensen commented 6 years ago

Hi,

Yep, it can definitely be a lightening talk. As for schedule, happy with whichever slot you'd like to put it in.

admataz commented 6 years ago

paulbjensen commented 6 years ago

Thanks, I hope to pop to the March one, plus I’m scheduled to talk about Cucumber in April, so looking forward to it.
