The last application that is included with the iWork '09 suit is Keynote '09. Keynote has come a long way over the course of the last two years. The new version is great. I love it. They have added so many new features to the '09 version that for me Keynote is the best and simplest presentation program. Some of the new features to features to look for are the new transitions, more themes, and better animations.

The new transitions and animations are great. The main thing to look for is what Apple is calling Magic Move. This is a feature that allows you to make really cool transitions with a click of the button. When you have some objects on a slide and you have some of the same objects on the next slide then Keynote will figure out a great and innovative way to make these objects move from slide to slide. (This is a bad way to explain it watch the video to find out more.) They have also added some new text transitions; all of which are demoed in the video. Also there are some new textures and animations for the charts. All of things things jut bring a boring and plain presentation to life. (I know if the teachers would do this at school it would really help me from falling asleep.)

There have also been some advanced sharing options included. You can upload to iWork.com, you can export to a Powerpoint file, as well as you can export to a Movie and share to youtube. All of this added with the features above make Keynote totally rule over Powerpoint.

So if you ask me if I would recommend you getting Keynote '09. YES! if you use a presentation program at any time than this is the one to use. In my opinion Keynote alone is reason enough to buy the new suit of software iWork '09.

Please comment and stay tuned for the iWork '09 round up post.

Numbers '09 Demo

Also Included in the latest edition of Apple's office suit called iWork is Numbers '09. There is not much to cover in this demo although there are a few things.

They have added a new and better way to manage the formulas and how you can use them. This includes a new inspector if you will that is devoted to the formulas. This allows you to see all of the formulas that are available to you with a simply category view. They also added a view that you can turn on in order for you to see what formulas you are using on a page and the information about them.

The next big thing that they added is a way to categorize your spreadsheets. For example if you are keeping a log of information for people in your company you could categorize the information by what section of the company they are in. This is a really innovative way for you to organize those large spreadsheets and not get confused.

They have also added a new capability so that when you copy a chart from Numbers to Pages it will stay in sync when you edit it in Numbers. This is a great way for you to stay sure that that chart you put in your document is up to date when you edit it on the spreadsheet.

Some of the other things to look of is the addition of more themes for you to work with along with more ways to share, including export options to PDF and Excel and of course sharing to iWork.com.

Should you upgrade? Well if you don't use Numbers very much or for anything to advanced then don't upgrade unless your are dying to upgrade. However if you use Numbers on a regular basis then UPGRADE for sure. Some of the features will save you so much time that it is well worth the $79.

pages '09 Demo

As you know Apple released a new version of Pages in their office suite known as iWork. This is a video of me demonstrating some of the things that can be found in the new version of Pages (Pages '09). Some of things to take note of are the new full screen view and some of the Math Type, new themes, dynamic outlining and Endnote integration. This may or may not be a compelling upgrade for you. It is $79 at the Apple website and it really doesn't offer that much in return in less you use office software a lot or some of the new features here are really what you want. As for most people Pages '08 will do just fine for the little things every know and then. I would however upgrade if you don't at least have Pages '08. Also keep in mind that pages is a part of the iWork '09 suite and there may be an application that will compel you to upgrade the whole suit. Anyway here is the video of some of the features that can be found in Pages '09. Enjoy and please comment.

Installing Wordpress via MAMP

Do you want a website that you can play around with? If so then you most likely don't want to pay for an online server. What you are looking for is a application that can run a web server on your computer. If you have a Mac then what you are looking for is a application called MAMP Download Here. This application also comes in hand when you are trying to test a new site or design a new one so when you put sites on the web they are fully functional and ready to go. After all who wants to see that Under Construction logo?

In This video I am going to show you how you can install a wordpress site and run it locally on your computer using MAMP.
