The purpose of the XDSK2 (XNA Developer’s Survival Kit) is to provide XNA Xbox indie game developers a list of resources for XNA 4.0 to assist them with creating better games, custom engines and most of all to help them raise the bar for titles existing in the XBLIG Library. This list is aimed at developers who are already familiar with Object Oriented programming and game development. It is not a list for beginners, but it may help them get started if they have a little programming experience. This list will be updated regularly. All of the resources listed below were discovered while developing the Nelxon XNA Game Engine which is built on top of a stack of modified open-source libraries and designed for rapid game development. The XDSK2 will provide you XNA 4.0 libraries, engines, techniques, articles and more.

Recentelijk is overigens ook XNA 4.0 uitgekomen. Deze kan je ook gewoon gebruiken, want er verschillen voor wat wij doen niet zoveel dingen. Op school werken we wel altijd gewoon met 3.1
One of the new features in Game Studio 3.1 is automatic serialization for .xnb files. This is a feature I have wanted ever since we first designed the Content Pipeline, so it makes me very happy that we finally found time to implement it! Short Version You know those ContentTypeWriter and ContentTypeReader thingamyhickies?

One of the things I’ve had to give up in order to have some development time at night is gaming. It’s something I refused to admit for years but I’ve just had to face the facts. I’m no longer a gamer. I just don’t have hours and hours of free time to pour into gaming and when I do have hours and hours of free time I want to pour them into game development. That doesn’t mean I don’t game at all! I play games pretty much every day.

XNA is quite possibly one of the most robust game programming frameworks out there. You can do nearly anything with it, and one of the reasons it is so flexible is its "Content Pipeline". But sometimes it can be a bit tricky to use this feature, requiring us to do bit more work. But in the end, it helps to use the Content Pipeline.
This is an easy look-up guide to my XNA 101 Tutorials . With the amount of tutorials there, it was hard to navigate, so this should make things a bit easier. The tutorials generally increase in complexity with the top of the list being the simplest.

Welcome to the XNA Tutorials, the largest and easiest to use collection of XNA 4.0 tutorials on the Internet ! There are plenty of other sites out there, but as far as I know they are either much smaller than this, or way out of date, which is a big deal, since so much changed in version 4.0. If you have any problems following any of these tutorials, I'd love to know about it , or feel free to post a question in the troubleshooting section of the tutorial, or in the forum.

As I indicated a few weeks ago, I recently received a copy of 3D Graphics with XNA Game Studio 4.0 by Sean James of Innovative Games . I've now had the opportunity to read through the book and try out the code samples. The book begins, as you might expect, with a brief discussion of the XNA system, and introduces the implementation specifics of things like coordinate systems, projections, and transforms.XNA 101 : XNA Video Tutorial
