Talking XNA with Shawn Hargreaves and Charles Cox

To a lot of .Net developers XNA often appears to be a bit of an enigma - they might know roughly what it is, but they’re not really sure of its placement in the market or relevance to their work. With Windows Phone 7 XNA is being edged into the limelight a little more and developers will no doubt be wondering whether it’s for them.

One of the great things about the work we’re doing with XPF, is in lowering that bar to entry. XPF’s out-of-the-box controls will be familiar to you if you’ve come from a WPF/Silverlight background, but they still embrace the mechanics of XNA; leading you slowly into the wonderful world of 3D programming.

In a recent Channel 9 video Shawn Hargreaves and Charles Cox, from the XNA team, give a great interview on what XNA is, how it’s used, and the platforms it’s available on. If you’re at all interested in XNA, but aren’t sure where to start – this is a great intro.

One of the subjects that comes up is the oft-asked “XNA and XAML” question and you might notice that at around the 32min mark Shawn happens to mention something that sounds a lot like XPF. ;)

So if you’re interested in dipping your toe in the XNA water, why not start by checking out our XPF Getting Started guide, download the sample code and let us know how you get on.

Pull up overload programs. Run only the programs u are using,the other programs in the background will drain your <a href="www.laptopsbatterysupplier.com/dell-laptop-battery-latitude-d800-c-3_994.html">dell latitude d800 battery</a> life. Don’t use any external devices. USB and PC-Cards use your <a href="www.laptopsbatterysupplier.com/dell-laptop-battery-latitude-d620-c-3_1053.html">dell latitude d620 battery</a> to function, even when you aren’t using them! Power down the display “You can often yield up to ten minutes of <a href="www.laptopsbatterysupplier.com/hp-compaq-laptop-battery-pavilion-dv4-c-7_915.html">hp dv4 battery</a> life per level of brightness lowered,” said Salinas.The more you are doing at the same time with your PC, the more memory and CPU usage increases. Both of which directly use up <a href="www.laptopsbatterysupplier.com/hp-compaq-laptop-battery-pavilion-dv2000-series-c-7_952.html">hp pavilion dv2000 battery</a>. Keep your <a href="www.laptopsbatterysupplier.com/...eries-p-177.html tx1000 battery</a> cool. You can take a page out of the extreme gamer’s handbooks, and have your system perform more optimally by keeping <a href="www.laptopsbatterysupplier.com/hp-compaq-laptop-battery-hstnndb72-c-7_1870.html">HP HSTNN-DB72 battery</a> cool. Short discharges and recharges do not fully synchronize the <a href="www.laptopsbatterysupplier.com/ibm-laptop-battery-thinkpad-x60-series-c-28_1311.html">IBM thinkpad x60 battery</a>'s fuel gauge with the battery's state-of-charge. This can result in the amount of power available in one cycle being less than expected or the <a href="www.laptopsbatterysupplier.com/...32a8-p-1407.html A32-A8 battery</a> meter being inaccurate. 1. Turn off Wi-Fi and BlueTooth - Most <a href="www.laptopsbatterysupplier.com/acer-laptop-battery-aspire-5520-series-c-8_1155.html">acer aspire 5520 series battery</a> have shortcut keys to instantly disable wireless networking. 2. Don't play computer games, music or DVD movies - Multimedia activities drain acer aspire one battery. 3. Adjust your screen brightness - Dimming your display saves <a href="www.laptopsbatterysupplier.com/...eries-p-688.html aspire 5100 battery</a> power. 4 If you do not use your laptop for extended periods of time (a week or more), remove the <a href="www.laptopsbatterysupplier.com/...ttery-p-799.html BATBL50L6 battery</a> pack from the laptop. 5. Do not expose the <a href="www.laptopsbatterysupplier.com/...1280-p-2055.html A1280 battery</a> to high heat or freezing temperatures. Do not leave your <a href="www.laptopsbatterysupplier.com/...1281-p-2061.html A1281 battery</a>in your car in the summer. Hot <a href=" www.laptopsbatterysupplier.com/sony-laptop-battery-vgpbps8-c-32_2062.html">Sony BPS8 battery</a> discharge very quickly, and cold ones can't create as much power. 6. Fully charge new <a href=" www.laptopsbatterysupplier.com/sony-laptop-battery-vgpbps9-c-32_2063.html">Sony BPS9 battery</a> packs before use. New pack needs to be fully charged and discharged (cycled) a few times before it can condition to full capacity. 7. For laptops that work as Desktop Replacement, the <a href="www.laptopsbatterysupplier.com/toshiba-laptop-battery-pa3534u1bas-c-447_1843.html">Toshiba PA3534U-1BAS battery</a> should be re -installed every 3-4 weeks and allowed to fully discharge. 8. Leaving the <a href=" www.laptopsbatterysupplier.com/...nv52-p-1904.html Nv52 battery</a> in a laptop while using an electrical outlet for long periods of time will keep the battery in a constant state of charging up and that will reduce the life cycle of the battery.
