I've never tried it but check this site out for a info and see if there free product works for what you need (it's backed by a company that makes enterprise stuff, it that helps)

It's integrated into a lot of software (NodeBox, Blender, lot's of IT-type software). Further, I was at SXSW and got a distinctly Python-vibe among the start-ups (I was expecting nothing but Ruby and node.js and "cloud").
Lot's of resources, huge community. I think there are some concerns about it being bad at parallel/concurrent stuff (not something I can speak about with any authority).
I did not even read the article. Evolution does not stop. You know what, it's not worth the time getting into it even on a 30000ft level. Nice day to you sirs.

I watched Nancy in a smaller venue but she did the same talk for TED. The link is above.
Essentially you have to understand that people have acknowledged that you can tell them something. This immediately puts you on a pedestal - but that is a good thing, let me explain. They have invited you to tell them a story at the end of which they want to feel good about your position on a certain matter (the topic of your presentation). Even the most technically inclined are only slightly looking forward to you spilling every little detail about the topic. They want big take-aways.
This is why being on a pedestal is good. They WANT to pay attention - but humans tend to pay attention to gestalt not minutiae in such circumstances. They like stories, they like to be told you've got everything under control. You'll lose them if you get into the nitty-gritty just like you'll lose kids if you start telling them the little piggy use quick-setting concrete because, in your estimation the wolf was about 25-30 minutes away, which would rule out... You catch my drift (I don't know too much about construction but that was the first story that cam to my mind).
Don't overload your slides - 3-5 main points per slide, 7-10 slides. If you have to put in more info then either email them the desk with annotations or handout a document for them to review.
So go watch the video and then remember to tell your story - the geeks and nerds will always be at hand to squeeze the juicy details out of you via a Q&A at the end.
