Libraries
  1. Timelines - These libraries can be used to create horizontal timelines in a web application.
    1. TimelineJS http://timeline.verite.co - This is a really nice library, but somewhat constraining. If all you really want to do is fairly coarse grained timelines of events that have media associated with them, this is a beautiful interface for that. I needed a foundation from which to work from an expand on to add lots of custom application stuff in the event focus panes and could not find a good way to do that.
    2. Chronoline http://stoicloofah.github.com/chronoline.js/ - This was a pretty good basic timeline, but the smallest date range was a single day! Obviously good for large time scale events, but not what I needed.
    3. SIMILE Widgets http://www.simile-widgets.org/timeline/ -
    4. Timeliner http://www.technotarek.com/timeliner/ - This is for vertical timelines, but looks useful.
    5. Timeline http://almende.github.com/chap-links-library/timeline.html -

  1. Roundup of HTML-Based Slide Deck Toolkits: This is good article on the various toolkits to help you to create presentations that can be run from your browser. The one that I chose to use was reveal.js as it was used by the instructor in a class and seemed to work well.
