About the Author

Luke Drumm is an experienced software developer and consultant who wrote his first computer game at age 10, and has been enthusiastically exploring the world of game development ever since. With the first public release of XNA in 2006, Luke quickly latched onto the technology and began creating and talking about how to create games within XNA at every possible opportunity. This culminated in his regular presence at conferences, game camps, and user groups, and in his becoming a recipient of the Microsoft MVP Award, for XNA and DirectX, for at least four successive years. Luke lives in Sydney, Australia, with his amazing, patient, and supportive wife Cheryl, and two dogs, who may or may not rule the roost.
