Join Bill in this session where he will introduce us to Microsoft new Game Development platform, XNA. XNA is a two part product, the XNA Framework and XNA Express. The XNA Framework is a cross platform execution environment that allows you to run a game developed with XNA Express on either the Xbox 360 or on Windows. XNA Express is the development environment based on C# Express that allows developers to quickly and easily build games that take advantage of all the gaming capabilities on the Xbox 360 and Windows. In this session, we will demonstrate how to use XNA Express to build a game that runs on both platforms.
Bill loves creating the applications that often pop right into his head. Unfortunately, it takes his fingers a little longer to type them in. Bill is MCSD certified and has logged more than 20 years as a software developer. Previously, Bill worked for a regional consulting firm where he developed applications that managed internal business operations in areas including IT service management, transportation logistics, and financial management. Bill was responsible for building integration applications between various ISV's products and the client's IT infrastructure. He also spent more than seven years at StrideRite Corporation, where he honed his development skills in Visual Basic, C++ and a range of IT roles. Bill has been collaborating with Microsoft since 1992, and continues to prize his Visual Basic 1.0 Beta Thunder Clock. He's given over 300 presentations to date, and is currently developing software for a flight computer in NASA's Small Aircraft Transportation System.
