You don't ever need bullet points. Also, I don't really like lots of code on slides (maybe one or two lines are ok), better code live in those situations (yes, this is possible, I have done it a couple of times). You should always have a story, even if you tell facts.


> You don't ever need bullet points.

This intrigues me. How would you present summaries or pros/cons of options?

I'm talking e.g. a presentation that compares various web UI frameworks for a to-be-developed project that involved multiple parties / departments. Not the typical startup situation no, but common nonetheless.


Ah, I forgot, all generalizations are wrong ;)

Sometimes presenting every point on a separate slide works quite well - never done it myself, but I have seen some good presentations where this technique was used. I guess this could become quite annoying when overused. But it might work for comparisons: One slide for every aspect that is compared.

You could also prepare a separate handout that contains the detailed pros/cons or comparisons and keep the slides minimalistic.
