This meeting is for people who enjoy games and are interested in how they're made. Microsoft XNA (http://creators.xna.com) is a free game development platform based on the .NET Framework that helps to make it easy to develop games for Windows, Xbox, and now the Zune as well. Using XNA Game Studio, you can create games of your own, to the amazement of friends and family. We'll introduce XNA, show you around the XNA world, then create a simple 2D game from scratch to give you a feel for game mechanics and the architecture of XNA. This session requires no game development experience, only a passion for coding and for games!
Chris Bowen (http://blogs.msdn.com/cbowen) is a Developer Evangelist with Microsoft, covering the Northeast. An avid gamer, Chris is also Microsoft's XNA Champion for the northeast and is active in the Boston area game development community. A software architect and engineer with over 16 years of experience, Chris joined Microsoft after holding senior architect and developer positions at companies such as Monster, VistaPrint, Staples, and IDX Systems and consulting on web presence and eCommerce projects with others. He is coauthor of "Essential Windows Communication Foundation" and "Professional Visual Studio 2005 Team System". Chris holds an M.S. in Computer Science and a B.S. in Management Information Systems, both from Worcester Polytechnic Institute.
