XNA Lobby Bar Sessions @ GDC 2009

March 6th, 2009 Michael Klucher

As mentioned in my previous post about GDC, I mentioned the XNA Lobby Bar and some of the short tutorial sessions that Microsoft will be hosting.

These sessions are designed to be more concise than traditional GDC talks, focusing on working through the talk in a short amount of time. This then gives you time to work through what you learned in our hands-on demo area. The session speaker will be available for questions and answers or just to chat for the rest of the hour.

I’m excited as I’ll be presenting the session “Best Practices for Xbox LIVE Community Games” on Wednesday and Friday. It’s a great chance to get some tips and tricks to make sure that you put your best game forward and help drive sales of your Xbox LIVE Community Game.

If you’re interested in any of the sessions that are listed below stop by, relax, and learn a bit about XNA technologies available from Microsoft!
