Did you know our samples have docs?

Dear Reader, I have another question for you...

I sometimes notice people using samples from creators.xna.com, having trouble with them, but not realizing their problem is answered in the sample doc.

The first time this happened, I could dismiss it as just a stupid user. But I have seen it too often for that to be the case.

All our samples include a document. The quality varies from minimal to pretty darn good indeed, but there is always something, and in a few cases the document is even more important than the sample code itself.

Have you used our samples? If so, it would be great if you could help me understand how this worked out for you:

On an unrelated note, Neal Stephenson has a new book out!
