XNA Book
In the fall of 2008 I began teaching a game class at Central New Mexico Community College (CNM). The class was aimed at people with little or no experience making games or programming and went over the basics of game design and game programming using XNA. Over the course of two semesters I ended up making quite a few notes for the class, and I've put them in a book: A Simple Introduction to Game Programming With C# and XNA 3.1 .
The book is requires no previous programming experience and has been updated to XNA 3.1. The book can be read online here for free or downloaded.
To get the free pdf or to buy a printed version go to the book page at lulu.com.

Skye Shader Editor
The Skye Shader Editor is an open source, easy to use shader editor for creating effects for XNA 3.0. I plan on updating it sometime in the near future, but for now I have info on it here.
