Hello... I've been a VB.NET developer for quite some time, but I decided to start making games. I bought a book called "Begginig C# game development" by Ron Penton... I've read the first half of the book that's about how C# works and stuf, but in the second half we get into making my first game... Now, the problem is: he shows me how to make the game in Direct3d/DirectX but I only have XNA installed... I've heard that Direct3d/DirectX is becoming obsolete so I was wondering if what the book says still applies exactly the same to XNA, if not, should I just use Direct3d/DirectX or get a new book?
Thanks!
