XNA game design

I have chosen to work with XNA because it has been created for video game development. This is to ensure that there will be a lot of knowledge of using XNA and Visual Basic to create games. My focus for the project is not on the programming (although I want to learn and become better at programming) but the framework and execution of the game aspects. This may be only possible through good programming but I only want the basic understanding to know what it is I need for performing the outcome I want. I have a basic XNA 4.0 game development learning book by Kurt Jaegers on how to make XNA games by making games (thanks to student TJ). I will work towards having gone through it by the mid holidays. By that time I should have enough knowledge with XNA to take what I need and get a draft version ready by the end of the first week.
