Sean James is a computer science student who has been programming for many years. He started with web design, learning HTML, PHP, Javascript, etc. Since then has created many websites including his personal XNA and game development focused blog http://www.innovativegames.net. In addition to web design he has interests in desktop software development and development for mobile devices such as Android, Windows Mobile, and Zune. However, his passion is for game development with DirectX, OpenGL, and XNA. Sean James lives in Claremont, CA with his family and two dogs. He would like to thank his family and friends who supported him throughout the writing of this book, and all the people at Packt Publishing who worked hard on the book and to support him. He would also like to thank the XNA community for providing such amazing resources, without which this book would not have been possible.
