Hi. All good stuff, thanks for that. We will be teaching the first year students about source code control when we introduce Visual Studio later in the programming course.

Actually, employers aren't all that bothered about the work you have done at university. They are more interested in the work you have done for actual clients as well as anything that you have done outside of academics. Obviously they will be looking at work you've done at university though.

This was a discussion I was having with my manager and other staff in the department.

@Rob Miles that's fantastic I will defiantly give that a read, must been using old websites when the beta SDK came out will take a look and do some more fun research. Also @James Croft will let you know if any additional help with some code working out at the moment. Thanks for the help guys

Yeah Rob's right. They opened up Kinect to work with multiple things now. I've wrote a program which controls a .NET Micro Framework robot using speech recognition in console. If you need any help with anything I will be happy to help. I've done quite a bit with the Kinect sensor

Nothing wrong with using the Kinect in XNA. You can find a whole course (and book) on how to do it here:
