The Calgary XNA User Group is an association of people in and around the greater Calgary area who are interested in developing games using the XNA®
Framework and XNA Game Studio technologies provided by Microsoft®.
The group is always on the look out for new members and is open to all interested parties with the desire of creating** their own
video games to play on their Xbox 360 console or Windows PC.
Meetings are held on the second Wednesday of any given month at SAIT Polytechnic Main Campus, Heart Building - Room MD321.
Currently we use the Facebook social network to handle announcements and facilitate group contact. If you are interested in joining the XNA Calgary User's Group
then simply head over to Facebook and either
log into or create your Facebook account. Once you have logged into your Facebook
account then head over the
