XNA Tutorials

I have wanted to experiment with XNA ever since Microsoft released it. Well, over the last few weeks I have finally had enough semi-free time to dive into some of the code. My eventual goal is to create a racing game, so when I discovered that there is a Racing Game Starter Kit I could not help but start by hopping straight into its code. However, I quickly found out that the Starter Kit was going to be overwhelming without picking up some fundamental gaming code knowledge first. The next step was to check out the 2D and 3D Game tutorials. This turned out to be a much better starting point, and I now feel prepared to move on to some more advanced learning. Now, I just have to hope that Xboxs are still available for retail sale by the time I actually complete a real game. :-)
