I put together this infokit to help developers interested in building Windows Phone apps quickly get up to speed - it can also serve as a reference to developers already building apps. This is a collection of Tools, Training, Resources and Open Data references that should nicely augment the learning/development experience for public sector developers. What is a public sector developer? In my job's lingo it is a developer who builds apps for Federal Government, State & Local Government, Education and Healthcare. You can find out more about our team here. http://aka.ms/crmzl3.
