MonoGame resources

[xNick]

Hi guys, this is my first post here.
I’m currently using love2d.
It shares some aspects with monogame (they both don’t have a gui editor for example), but it doesn’t export on a major number of platforms and I currently own a windows 10 mobile smartphone. (I hate not being able to try the stuff I do on my smartphone )
I do web dev with .Net/C#, so I’d like to switch to monogame, but it seems there are even less resources than love2d (how’s that even possible? ) and the community seems small.
But as far as I see, monogame shares some APIs with xna.
Can I use xna books to learn monogame?
Are there active xna forums one can use instead and still do stuff on monogame?

Any tips about starting with monogame?

Thanks

yes, you can basically google xna for every problem you have. Monogame is basically XNA, but supports more platforms.

For platform specific stuff you’d have to resort to this forum, but replies are usually fast and informative.

I made a list of links I used when I started.

Where I have posted several getting started tutorial links and if you look towards the bottom there are UWP tutorials now…
