Wanting to learn to program, is c# / XNA a good language to start off with? (for game development in the future).

Sorry James, where to get started and which technology to use are off topic for the site. That being said, C# is just as good as any other language and there's plenty of resources for learning it. – Byte56♦ Jul 19 '12 at 4:04
Oh okay, sorry for that! Didn't know its off topic. Thanks for the answer though :) – James Helou Jul 19 '12 at 4:05

yes. Please! Repost specific questions. programmers.stackexchange.com might be a better place for general "how to get started" questions. – David Lively Jul 19 '12 at 4:15
@JamesHelou You might be interested in the Game Programming Wiki's How do I get started page, and its FAQ for new game programmers. – Jonathan Hobbs Jul 19 '12 at 4:15
