PowerPoint in Latex

Question

Is it possible to make a powerpoint presentation but using LaTeX?

Can you give some useful advices to start with?

The presentation is about chemistry.

As google helpfully points out, the beamer package was made exactly for these kinds of projects. Just use your normal tex editor. — Huang_d, Jun 07 '17 at 18:47

@ChristianHupfer If one wants to abandon pdflatex and use latex->dvips->ps2pdf, it's okay. But I did a chemistry presentation with powerdot and now know why I love Beamer. — TeXnician, Jun 07 '17 at 19:07
I would never recommend using Texmaker (just a personal thing), but of course I would recommend the beamer package. — TeXnician, Jun 07 '17 at 19:17
The question about the editor is a very personal one. I usually work with TeXworks or TeXstudio, but others like f.i. Emacs. You could have a look at our big list of editors. — TeXnician, Jun 07 '17 at 19:30
The editor doesn't matter at all. Which one you use depends on which one you like most — Johannes_B, Jun 07 '17 at 19:46

As Johannes_B well pointed, the editor that doesn't matter at all. BTW, I used Gummi for this example (yet another LaTeX editor, available in Debian)

What really matter in your case (I guess) is:

$ firefox https://www.ctan.org/pkg/lshort-spanish
$ texdoc beamer
$ texdoc chemfig 
$ texdoc everything ... 
$ firefox https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/LaTeX/Mathematics
$ firefox https://www.ctan.org/topic/chemistry

To start with all this mess you need a example of presentation, not a programme. Here you are one with some maths and chemistry to start to play:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usetheme{Madrid}
\usepackage{chemfig}
\setbeamertemplate{navigation symbols}{} % si no los quiero 
\setbeamersize{text margin left=2em,text margin right=2em}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
