Coding4Fun Book Chapter Teaser for PDC

Update: Looks like the link has expired since PDC is now over.  Thanks to all who downloaded!

At PDC2008 we have been giving away printouts of our first chapter and table of contents for our new book, “Coding4Fun: 10 .NET Programming Projects for Wiimote, YouTube, World of Warcraft, and More” to anyone who drops by the Coding4Fun area.  We ran out of copies early today, so for those of you at PDC (and anyone else for that matter) that’s interested in taking a look at the (not really properly formatted in all places) first chapter of the book in PDF format, you can do so by visiting http://oreilly.com/go/mspdc .  This chapter covers how to build a simple 2D game named Alien Attack using XNA 3.0.

This link will die within the next few days, so download soon.  Any questions and comments are welcome, as always…enjoy!
