I can answer that, I’ve been reading and programming. Ever since Professional XNA Game Programming For Xbox 360 and Windows was realeased I’ve been nose deep in the pages. I’ve been attending work regularly, going off on vacations with my wife, and working on releasing a game to the public that takese advantage of the XNA libraries.

The book is great, but I wouldn’t suggest it for someone looking to jump into programming. Even though the title starts with the word Professional it hasn’t scared people off from buying it and trying what they see. The first chapter is a great introduction but then quickly spirals out of control as you move farther and farther into the book. If you are new to programming then you will need to download the source code available from Wrox website for Professional XNA Game Programming. A great book that sheds light on what XNA can do and is a great intermediate read for people looking to jump into writing managed game code.
