• XNA Bar Camp Panel Discussion....

  We are toying with the idea of a panel discussion at the up coming XNA Bar Camp, Birmingham, March 21st 2009 So, what kind of topics would you like to have covered?

  I think we have a few people lined up, Peter McGann will be there, I dare say he will be on the panel (must say I saw Peter at a NxtGen talk ages ago and he was very good, even helped me out with my point sprite particles..), as well as Edward Powell, I hope Leaf  and Robin and possibly even me!

  So, give us your topic ideas, this is your chance to get the answers you want at the meet, so fire away, just post a comment here and we will get it added to the discussion.

  Hope to see you there :P
