Jon Skeet

I just received my copy of C# In Depth by Jon Skeet. Jon has a great deal of knowledge on C# and if you’ve never ran into his blog I suggest you check it out here. I’ll post later more about the book but I’m pretty sure it’s a good one.

It Works

Ok, so the old laptop I’m working with isn’t ideal, but it does work and does run Xna Game Studio. I’ll probably only being doing 2D stuff on it. I did look into getting a bit more ram for it though as it only has 512 right now and most of that is used up just by the OS and the minimal apps running in the background.

Working with Older Hardware

It looks like I’m going to be using an older laptop for some development when I’m riding on my train everyday. Only 512 MB or ram. Yikes.

Installing Visual Studio Express took like an hour and I’m installing Xna Game Studio right now to see if this is doable. This should be interesting.
