XNA - Best way to learn

[His22]

I don't have a 360. I need to learn XNA for a University course, which is required soon but they don't teach us until January because of some weird mistake. I've started the official tutorials but they seem more of a step by step guide rather than im learning anything. Any ideas?

If you like need ways to learn things, make things into songs, acronyms, repeat them, revise them for 10 minutes every day, and take breaks. If that's not the answer you're looking for, then bugger. sorry.

Lol at how learning C# is apparently an easy step.

Not even close.

Is the course your taking only teaching you XNA? Because that uses C#. C++ is what you want to learn. I know how you feel though, I went through a few XNA tutorials and didn't understand what I was learning. Try some videos on youtube (helped me learn C++) or other tutorial sites. If the tutorial tells you something new, then makes you make a program (one you haven't made yet) using that code, its a good tutorial. You need to learn how to apply code to different situations.
