If you are interested in game development make sure you visit devgame101.com where I discuss game development using Unity. If XNA and MonoGame are more your style, then you might like the code I updated from my XNA Game Studio 3.0 Unleashed book last month. Stay tuned to see upcoming material teaching how to develop for the HoloLens!
