+1 for reveal.js. In a talk I gave recently about a PHP dep management tool, I used reveal.js (+fragments) + `script` command + ansi2html.sh to create colorized, step-by-step terminal demos without running it in the console.

Nice cuz a) no live coding, no risk there b) dep tool requires network access for most operations; bad wifi at conference = "oh no" c) ppl can follow along at home or go over the steps themselves d) not an image so you can select/copy text.

Here's an example: http://sequoia.github.io/composer-talk/#/7/1 (press spacebar to advance). I plan to write a blog post about my strategies for avoiding live coding in presentations... one of these days :p
