Document Classes ⇒ beamer question

[gcheer3]

I am new to Tex

First, I downloaded TeXnicCenter, then I downloaded MikTex both on today, the newest edition.

I open the TexnicCenter, and input a very simple code:

\documentclass{beamer}
\begin{document}
\title{Simple Beamer Class}
\author{gg}
\date{\today}

I chose Latex--> PDF, then I went to build---> view output, the PDF opened as a blank file, then there is a message said, there is an error.

Please give me some help. I feel so frustrated. I have been trying for two days. I tried other tex file, didnt work also

Hi gcheer3,

welcome to this board!

Your code example is not complete. Try this:

Code: Select all

\documentclass{beamer}
\title{Simple Beamer Class}
\author{gg}
\date{\today}
\begin{document}
\maketitle
\end{document}

You could find many beamer examples in the web, for instance here: examples of beamer class.
