We will have Pizza and prizes including a 12 month subscription to XBOX 360 Live!!!!
This introductory session on XNA Game Studio Express provides a look at a set of tools based on Visual C# Express 2005 that allow students and hobbyists to build games that target both Windows and Xbox 360. In this session we will be looking at XNA Game Studio Express:
o The XNA Framework. You will see a set of managed code development libraries based on the .NET Framework 2.0 which will allow game developers to be more productive when creating games for Windows and the Xbox 360. The XNA Framework allows game developers to create modern games using the C# programming language and a rich set of development libraries.
o The XNA Framework Content Pipeline. The XNA Framework provides its own content pipeline to make it easy to get rich content (3D, 2D, sound, etc.) from content creation sources into a game. The XNA Framework also provides a very high level of API unification across the Windows and Xbox 360 implementations, thus virtually eliminating the cost and effort required to port games between these two platforms.
o Game Studio Express also contains a full set of documentation, how-to’s and starter-kits that demonstrate how best to utilize the content pipeline and XNA Framework.
o See a live demonstration of how to get started and build a game from scratch.

About rfustino
Russ wisely shelved dreams of rock and roll stardom in order to share his vast knowledge with developers nationwide. Given that he can’t sing or play an instrument, other than in Guitar Hero, we’re all very grateful. Russ has more than 25 years of software development. He’s the creator of the Russ' Tool Shed developer seminar series and has donned his trademark suspenders, hardhat and tool belt in presentations for over 75,000 developers at 1,700 events. Russ also has expertise in developing Visual Basic and Web-based solutions using Microsoft tools. Before joining Microsoft eleven years ago, Russ worked as a VB instructor, headed up a development department, and created several client/server applications and system software products. His specialties include development with VB.NET, XML Web services, ASP.NET, XNA, Silverlight, Development Tools and debugging. But make no mistake – Russ is not all brains. His big heart led him to establish Take a Swing at Cancer, Inc., a non-profit organization that holds softball and golf-based fundraisers to battle cancer. You have to know the code to get in the shed. KNOW THE CODE!
