Whiteboard is slideshow application for teaching programming. It embeds a code editor, terminal, and web browser into a slide-show like interface to eliminate context-switches and dead-space, while enabling more content content to be set-up ahead of time. It's great for guiding code-heavy classroom lectures, tutorials, workshops, and webinars.

Alpha Release: v0.0.48 - Whiteboard is still being developed. There might still be a few bugs here and there, so help development by reporting them.
