Basic information about creating slides with LaTex and beamer
Documentclass
\documentclass[options]{beamer}
Slides
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Slide title}
...
\end{frame}
or:
\frame{
\frametitle{Slide title}
...
}
Preamble/outline of contents
It is possible to add a frame with the outline/index of the topics.
\begin{frame}
\frametitle{Outline}
\tableofcontents[part=1,pausesections]
\end{frame}
or, simply
\section[Outline]{}
\frame{\tableofcontents}
Body structure
Timed/highlithed lists
\begin{enumerate}
\item<1-| alert@1> Suppose $p$ were the largest prime number.
\item<2-> Let $q$ be the product of the first $p$ numbers.
\item<3-> Then $q+1$ is not divisible by any of them.
\item<1-> Thus $q+1$ is also prime and greater than $p$.\qedhere
\end{enumerate}
Pictures/Tables
It doesn't change anything from the other LaTeX classes. So, if you want to include some pictures, use the usual packages
\usepackage{graphicx}
or
\usepackage{tabular}
and the usual code:
\frame
{ \frametitle{Include a picture in your slideshow}
\begin{figure}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=5cm]{mypic.png}
\caption{Caption of the picture I want to include.}
\label{fig:pictureinc}
\end{figure}
}
and also for tables:
\frame
{ \frametitle{Include a table in your slideshow}
\begin{table}
\centering
\begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|} \hline \hline
Flowers & Fruits & Trees\\ \hline \hline
Rose & Apple & Pine \\
Daisy & Orange & Oak\\ \hline \hline
\end{tabular}
\caption{Table example.}
\label{tbl:tableexample}
\end{table}
}

Codes
Here, there's no difference from the usual LaTeX classes, too.
See also this section.
Links to external files (pop-up viewing)
You have to use the hyperrefpackage in your main source preamble:
\usepackage{hyperref}
then
\href{file.jpeg}{Link to a picture}
or
\href{file.pdf}{Link to a pdf file}
Insert web content dynamically (javascript)
Themes

\usetheme{Darmstadt}
\usetheme{Singapore}
\usetheme{Montpellier}
\usetheme{Berlin}

\usetheme{Madrid}
\usetheme{Pittsburgh}
\usetheme{Madrid}
\usetheme{Copenhagen}
\usetheme{Warsaw}
\usetheme{Rochester} %[ works best as \usetheme[height=7mm]{Rochester} ]
\usetheme{Singapore}
\usetheme{Malmoe}
