Silverlight is THE development platform for Windows Phone 7

March 15th, 2010

How cool is that?  Oh, by the way, gaming is supported through the XNA framework. Even better!

Lets get started!

Windows Phone developer tools CTP (don’t forget the release notes)

Who needs some learning material?  I know I do:

  • Getting started with Silverlight and Windows Phone development
  • Windows Phone Application Bar
  • Navigation framework for Windows Phone applications
  • Custom application splash screen

    •  

    What…, what was that? I’m sorry, did you say you want Blend support for Windows Phone 7?  Well, you are just going to have to wait until you click on the link to download the totally awesome Windows Phone development add-in for Expression Blend and the Expression Blend SDK for Windows Phone.

    Here is the official website.  Oh, there is a dedicated forum as well.  Okay, now I’m going to go run 5 miles.
