Brilliant speaker, has inspired me to get off my arse and look at XNA.
Steven Miles
Thoroughly enjoyed the event. A fun and interesting subject. Location was handy to get to from work. Well organised. Can't go wrong with pizza and cake. This was my first event, considering becoming a permanent member. I would be interested in more talks on XNA.
Steven Miles
It was interesting to see how the limitations of a silverlight renderer were overcome. I was impressed that the presentation was done in silverlight and that some of the sprite animation concepts could be demonstrated interactively.
John Price
A good night, including mince pies. Loved the Pass the Swag idea.
