Just wanting to say thanks for this website, I got XNA 4.0 Game Development by Example and was just disheartened by the walls of text… even though I'm alright in C# I found it too overwhelming with little to no explanation. After a fair while into the book I stumbled across this site, best written tutorials I've seen and very well explained to boot.
Only downside is the tutorial navigation… oh well.

Thanks,
One Mad Feesh

Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you're finding it useful! I've had quite a few complaints on the navigation and the white text on a black background theme over the years. I actually intend on cleaning both up over the next little while.

My problem has really been just the limitations of the Wikidot framework. I don't have the ability to create just a generic navigation structure. I have to manually create and maintain all links between tutorials. But… I think I've got a way to hack it. It's just going to take time to do.

I'm curious what specifically you think is causing problems with the navigation, and what would improve it. Would something more like the image below be better, do you think?

Actually… better than that mockup, try this link for a "live" preview: Navigation Preview

It has the navigation links, but of course, once you click off of that page, it goes to pages that don't have the new navigation. Is that an improvement?
