Editor's Notes
In this session you’ll learn what tools and software libraries you’ll need to start constructing applications for the Windows phone 7.
To develop any Application for Windows Phone 7 you’ll need some special Windows Phone developer tools which are free from Microsoft site.
Some of the full installation packages are:
“The two frameworks, provide a substantial number of components for developers to construct applications on”
“Applications written for Silverlight or the XNA Framework today will run on Windows Phone with only a minor number of adjustments, such as for screen size or for device specific features”
