"Beginner’s Guide to Kinect Programming," from download to demo

It wouldn't be a "coding week" if we didn't include a couple getting started posts. Today's comes via the very cool Kinect Education site. If you're interested in developing with/for the Kinect (which since you're here I kind of assume you are) you should following Kinect Education site or subscribing to their feed.
