If you are excited about starting to develop applications which use the Kinect Sensor I can recommend two great resources where you can start learning- 1. The first one is a blog which gives a quick overview of installing the sdk and what it contains. Also it gives a few tips on getting started with building Kinect applications. Also it gives links to some projects build in the sdk and uploaded on codeplex. http://michaelcrump.net/archive/2011/06/17/the-busy-developers-guide-to-the-kinect-sdk-beta.aspx 2. But probably the most important resource is the following link http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/KinectSDKQuickstarts It explains the following things: 1. Installing and Using the Kinect Sensor 2. Setting Up Your Development Environment 3. Skeletal Tracking Fundamentals 4. Camera Fundamentals 5. Working with Depth Data 6. Audio Fundamentals
