I've been getting questions about C# (pronounced Sea Sharp or C Sharp) textbooks for high school courses lately. There are a lot of C# books out there but I think most of them are aimed either at professional developers or college level programs. Teachers are teaching C# in high schools though and I can't say that I blame them. C# is a great language. The advent of the XNA Studio Express which runs on top of Visual C# Express and uses C# as the development language is only going to increase interest

Well the big announcement is out . XNA Express is a great new development environment that lets ordinary programmers write games for the Xbox 360. For as long as there have been dedicated boxes for game programming it has required a lot in the way to resources to write game programs for them. Generally it requires special hardware and very special and very expensive software to develop games for PSP, Game Cube, the origional Xbox and well you name it. In fact not only to you have to have the money
