XNA Tutorials

These videos teach you about XNA and give you an inside look at XNA developments.

	Tutorial 1: Displaying a 3D Model on the Screen Learn how to use the XNA Framework Content Pipeline to load a 3D model and its associated textures, and the code necessary to display the model on the screen.
	Tutorial 2: Making Your Model Move Using Input Learn how to use the XNA Framework Input API to take user input from an Xbox 360 Controller and apply it to the 3D model displayed in Tutorial 1.
	Tutorial 3: Making Sounds with XNA Game Studio Express and XACT Learn how to use the Microsoft Cross-Platform Audio Creation Tool (XACT) to make sounds for an XNA Game Studio Express game, and how to use the XNA Framework Audio API to play them.

	Looking at XNA: Part 1 From Rory Blyth: This is the first of a two part series in which we get a look at XNA - the technology that's going to make it significantly easier for devs to code games that run on Windows and the Xbox 360. In this first part, we chat with Boyd Multerer about his role in the XNA program. It's some pretty cool stuff, and what I learned tells me that XNA could really change the hobbyist game scene for the better.
	Looking at XNA: Part 2 From Rory Blyth(Channel 9): Now, in Part Two, Frank Savage shows it all to us. Frank will talk about XNA from his perspective, deploy an XNA project to an Xbox 360, modify the application, and also give a debugging demonstration. All of this is done at 1080p, showing off both the 360's recently acquired ability to support this resolution, as well as the power of XNA. It's really quite amazing: High frame rates at 1080p under managed code using only a single core of the three available.
	XNA at Microsoft Gamefest From Ernie Booth (Channel 9): Ernie Booth headed over to the Microsoft Gamefest 2006 (http://www.microsoftgamefest.com), a conference for game developers held in Seattle, and interviewed Boyd Multerer and David Weller about the new XNA platform.
