10/12/05: Request for materials.

Well this event is now over, but I've had no luck finding any materials that came out of it. Mostly due to the fact that I don't speak the language! If anyone has any details or can find the information, or an email address for Emerson or a Microsoft rep that would be great. Otherwise, I hope people enjoyed the event.

MSDN Events are holding a Regional Developers Event at the Bradesco Instituto De Tecnologia on Saturday September the 17th, 8:30am-4:30pm. The event includes a session on Managed DirectX: (Thanks to Juvenal for the translation)

Game development with C# and XNA. Have you ever thought about developing your own game? What if Microsoft could offer you some help?

And, as a bonus, you'll get some game development tips using C# Express and Managed DirectX. Speaker: Emerson Facunte

I've not heard of Emerson Facunte, and my googling just finds information about a Delphi programmer who has written a couple of books. I guess it could be the same person. Emerson, drop me an email and let me know a bit more about your DirectX background. If you attend this event, please let me know how it went and links to slides or other materials.
