  5. What are you looking for? • Curious? • Sounds interesting, what’s up? • Evaluate potential for work use? • Heard about this, can I use it at work/class? • What do you do? • Self-interest • Can I develop some cool stuff when I have nothing to do at home? • Nothing else to do • seems like a good place to waste a Saturday? • stuck in Orlando? … Disney World?

  6. A word about me … • My background • Apology … • I Speak with an accent and I speak fast! • SORRY! • Flexible … • Feedback, let me know! • SLOW ME DOWN!!! • Schedule is flexible!

  7. This Workshop is about … • Up and running with XNA • Developing simple 2D Applications with XNA • If Graphics/GUI background • Humor me, and tell me what you think • If no Graphics/GUI background • Review MVC framework and • Start programming “pseudo games” in hours • Main goals: • Game-themed application with XNA is EASY • Perfect for teaching many foundational programming concepts!

  8. I need from you … • Feedback • Let me know! • Participate • Feedback! Stop me! • This is meant to be FUN! 
