I would like to write my first presentation on LyX, but since I am a dummy I will need a Tutorial.
You find some example files in LyX's examples folder. The Beamer documentation is the most beautiful I've ever read and you find there everything you need to know. It also contains a section about style guidelines for presentations in general. You can find the documentation at the usual place for LaTeX-package documentations in your LaTeX-distribution.
I looked for it in the manuals (and in the web) but I can't find any (but since I am a dummy I probably missed out on it)

Is there a way to save my soul from falling back to powerpoint?
Don't expect that everything is better using Beamer. The output is very nice and the audience usually love it, but it costs much more time to produce a presentation with LaTeX.
