Upcomming Tutorials

I am planning on putting up some tutorials and such here soon. Since the site has just started and I do not have any community feedback on what would be useful to focus some tutorials on I will try to do some basic tutorials.  Here is my list of what I might look into doing so far, until we get some community feedback and then I will do my best to post up information, tutorials, guides, etc on topics that fall in line with what people are wanting.

Possible tutorials:
  • Match Game
  • Roll The Dice Game
  • The Calculator App from the previous post
  • Windows Forms
  • XNA (Windows / Xbox)
  • Planning before you code
  • Object Oriented Programming
  • Reading and Writing data to files
Also, I was thinking about doing some mini tutorials that would be on some basic programming.  Some of these things could be like arrays, event handlers, loops, etc.  Hopefully, soon we will be able to get a community base and get some stuff out that way.

I tend to favor C# when I program, but I can also look into putting up some information done in java, c++, html, javascript, SQL, etc.  The bulk of the information will probably fall around C# and Java.  The reasoning behind this is that I use Java for android development mostly (some c++ can be used as well) and for games and windows apps I prefer to use C#.

For creating games, one of the popular things out now is XNA.  You can learn more about it over at the app hub (http://create.msdn.com/en-US/).  This is a good resource for people looking to program games for windows, windows phone, or xbox 360.  Of course you do not need XNA to program applications in C# and I will look at putting up some tutorials on XNA usage and programming applications outside XNA as well.

This is my last semester before I graduate, so I will get content up and respond to any requests as time permits.
