Sorry if this is a dumb question, but my team currently programs in Java, so does this mean that we have to learn a new language to be able to use the Kinect?
The jump from Java to C#, if you decide to make it to take advantage of more code samples, is not a large one. In fact most people I have talked to find it easier to go from Java to C# than the other way. There are C# for Java programmers materials available as well. One of my favorites is http://www.robmiles.com/c-yellow-boo...ook%202009.pdf I know teachers who use both Java and C# in the same courses. Switching to C# after the AP exam in order to create XBOX games using XNA is pretty common as well.
