Product Description

Welcome to the XNA Xtreme 101 video training course! This first volume covers nearly 30 hours of lecture and is specially geared toward the first-time programmer interested in creating games for the PC and Xbox 360 platforms.Volume I will quickly get you up to speed in programming with a strong foundation in the C# programming language. You'll also get a clear description of the .NET infrastructure, while learning precisely what .NET is and how it is defining the next generation of computer programming. The lessons have a strong emphasis on programming using proper design principles, including creating your initial requirement spec, moving on the design phase, and laying out a solid implementation plan.Throughout these videos, you'll be creating two complete games, along with several other support applications used to demonstrate specific points. The games covered include The Hyperion Project, a simple text-based adventure engine, and Cannon, which you will actually create using three separate methods:Cannon 1: WinForms/event-driven gameCannon 2: WinFroms/engine-based gameCannon 3: XNA-based gameThis step-by-step process gradually makes you more and more acquainted with Object-Orientation, allowing you to make an easy shift into the realm of the XNA Framework. Whether you're completely new to the realm of programming, or a veteran programmer preparing to make a smooth transition to XNA, you're going to find exactly what you're looking for within XNA Xtreme 101It should be noted that this first volume focuses more on making the student into a proficient programmer using C# and does not yet heavily emphasize the use of the XNA Framework. XNA will be used throughout the remainder of the XNA Xtreme 101 course volumes. Each video on the discs is encoded with a faint non-obtrusive watermark containing your name and address. We do NOT send to P.O. boxes or Universities.
