Thanks to everyone who came on Thursday night. IMO, it was pretty productive as some people were able to get their hands on XNA right away. We have posted the presentation notes on XNA and PHP here for those who are interested.

Next week I’ll will give a beginner’s tutorial on using Python with PyGame. This will be geared towards first year’s in Computer Science but everyone is welcome of course. If there’s anything in particular you want to know how to do, let me know and I’ll do my best to cover it.
