Yesterday in Trinity College something landed. Something big. Something new and fun. Something that might keep me up late at night... The XNA European Tour began right here in Dublin, filling two 150-person lecture halls for the entire day with 300+ students and game developers. In fact we had been expecting half of that, but as registrations came pouring in, Steve Collins, a lecturer at Trinity, was able to put together an additional room and have the speakers do morning and afternoon sessions!

On Monday I went to Cork to visit students at UCC. Despite some technical difficulties involving scheduling and room changes, Microsoft Student Partners Nathan Forde and Sarah Fitzgerald managed to get together a great crowd! We spent about a half hour talking about Silverlight and its framework and then another half hour playing Pong and discussing building an XNA game. I had a couple of questions I promised I would post on my blog, so here they are: 1) What does the networking support look like

This is awesome news! On Monday, November 26th, Trinity College in Dublin will host an XNA event for students and professionals. Speaking at the conference will be none other than Dave Mitchell from the XNA team in Redmond. Other speakers are still being lined up, but it looks like there will be some industry speakers as well as academic speakers, so it looks to be a really interesting day. The event will preview the upcoming XNA Games Studio Express 2.0 as well as cover various areas of game development,
