Learning XNA 3.0

What You Just Did

Now you're ready to really get your hands dirty and dive into building your first game. But first, let's review what you accomplished in this chapter:

• You installed XNA Game Studio 3.0 and configured your machine for XNA development.

• You created and ran your first XNA project.

Deploying to the Xbox 360 or the Zune

If you're chomping at the bit to dive into Xbox 360 or Zune development, you might want to peek ahead at Chapter 8 for information on deployment to the Zune or Chapter 16 for deployment to the Xbox 360. Because nearly all of the code you write for the PC is directly portable to these platforms, this book in general will cover XNA development on the PC. Those two chapters will cover specific issues you'll need to consider when targeting each of those platforms.
