SDL DXA Impress module .NET

The SDL DXA Impress module adds the impress.js presentation framework into DXA, so you can create and publish presentations directly from SDL Tridion.

The Impress module demonstrates how a DXA module can have its own HTML design, for more details on this, you should take a look at the `impress-html-design.zip` in `100 Master\Building Blocks\Modules\Impress\Admin`

impress.js

It's a presentation framework based on the power of CSS3 transforms and transitions in modern browsers and inspired by the idea behind prezi.com. http://impress.github.io/impress.js
