Introduction to LaTeX
Information
2009-11-19, Dept. of Computer Science, University of Hamburg
This talk was held in the KunterBunteSeminar, a workshop conducted by the students of the Computer Science department, University of Hamburg.
It was conceived as a general introduction to working with LaTeX for absolute beginners. I gave an overview of how LaTeX documents are structured and how packages are included. Next, I spent a lot of time going over the most important and well-known packages (such as KOMA-Script and Beamer). Also included were some handy tips and tricks that hopefully help making LaTeX fun instead of daunting.
At the end, we had a look at the LaTeX code of some example documents I prepared: a simple official-looking letter, a term paper, and the very slides for this presentation.

Can you also make the tex source public?
I just want to know how to make the rounded frame box. did you use fancybox??
The rounded corners are a feature of the listings package, see its documentation (pages 15, 16 for an example, page 34 for details).
The sources are available at mafiasi.de, where the KBS is organized.
