XNA books?

[dday9]

I don't quite know where to post this one, so this area is where it will be. If it needs to be moved, could a mod move it?

With that out the way, I would really like to know of any books on XNA 4.0 for vb.net. Now that XNA is supported with vb.net, I want to learn it. I searched online and I get alot of conflicting results. Some are before the update where vb.net supported(pre dec. 2011) and the others strictly use C#. Do y'all have anything?

I wasn't aware that XNA was now supporting VB.NET?

[Jacob Roman]

They are. However it's difficult to find information on XNA for VB.Net. Just in C#

Well it doesn't appear to be working on my machine. Is there a separate installer that I need?

[Jacob Roman]

kinda. You need to download the Microsoft directx sdk June 2010 which has the latest version of directx11 and xNA

Do y'all know of any, because I really don't want to follow c# tutorials and convert them.

Well what's wrong with converting them? Converting C# -> VB.NET code is quite easy if you've any experience behind your belt

[dday9]

Well first, it's not the converting them, I could just google c# to vb.net converter and something will pop up :P and second, I don't have any experience. The only thing I know about vb.net is what I've learned on the internet. I'm not a good programmer at all.

[Jacob Roman]

There isnt too many differences between the two since both languages are .net so the syntex is nearly the same.

I know, but it's really the point. Why is MS so bias towards c# you would think that they're mostly liberals they'd want everything to be equal :P

Edit = I know it's getting a little off topic. I just had to make a quick jab :P anyways for anyone that may be interested, I found this
