@nigelgos:Keep an eye on David's blog, http://blogs.msdn.com/b/eternalcoding/. I know he has an updated version and I'm sure they will appear there soon...

@Wim:Thanks. Removed...

@dentaku:I second that!

I miss my Amiga 500...

@Dave509:I know you asked Dan, but...

From my seat, I'd suggest C#, as there are more examples and samples for it. To learn C#, check out, http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/C-Sharp-Fundamentals-Development-for-Absolute-Beginners

That said, VB.Net is fully supported and viable for the Kinect and there's more samples and examples on the way. To get going with VB.Net, check out, http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Visual-Basic-Development-for-Absolute-Beginners

Another nice learning/training resource is http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/VS2010TrainingCourse

Hope this helps.

@nigelgos:Yep, this was written in the Beta 1 time frame. I know he's got an updated version that should be available online soon, but in the mean time check out, http://robrelyea.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/k4w-code-migration-from-beta2-to-v1-0-managed/, which will help in the migration of code from the Beta to the RTM of the SDK

@deadlydog: Nice! Thanks for the heads up on that.

@Asanka Dissanayake: @JAN GER: A better place to ask those questions is probably in the Kinect Forums, http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/kinectsdk/threads.

Those forums are more closely watched by the Kinect teams than are comments here...

@DanThyer: Yep, same link as show on the "Project Information URL:" line... 

But I can see how that might be easy to miss. Will have to look at tweaking the template I use (like maybe bolding "Project Information URL:" etc)...

Anyway, thanks again Dan for taking the time to share and write this up.

@CloudManaged:Yep, it's real...

@JimPerry: It works for me... (via Verizon MiFi from Los Angeles area)
