Windows Phone 7 Series is a little bit closer after today’s MIX 10 keynote and Microsoft are doing a great job of making sure that WP7 developers have got everything they need to get started putting the iPhone to shame making great apps 🙂
They have put together a training kit for developers which includes 4 Hands On Labs:
Hello Phone:
As with the classic “Hello World” app, this is a way to introduce you to the tools needed to build Silverlight apps for Windows Phones.
Building Your First Windows Phone Application:
This teaches you to create a simple puzzle game using the basic building blocks, and includes some phone-specific features.
Windows Phone Navigation & Controls:
This focuses on on Windows Phone’s layout and switching between different screens.
Game Development with XNA Framework:
This lab helps you build a simple XMA game using Visual Studio Express for Windows Phone.
You can see the online kit here or download a local copy here.
