Answer 1

You can get started by downloading the tools and registering to publish here: http://create.msdn.com/en-us/home/getting_started

There are a lot of very good tutorials out there. I recommend Channel9 s Windows Phone 7 training course and Windows Phone 7 for the Absolute Beginner.

There s also a very good book available as a free PDF download: Programming Windows Phone 7 by Charles Petzold.

Answer 4

If you have C# experience then Windows Phone 7 is easy. Just use MSDN for what is and is not allowed, much the same as a desktop/web C# application using .NET.

If you don t know C# start by learning Visual Studio and C# by building some basic Windows Form applications, get more advanced until you feel comfortable, and then move to Windows Phone 7.

I was one of the showcase application developers from MS so I got dropped in the dark with a short deadline, but once I got it all installed and started working with it MSDN was the best help as there were not many tutorials at that point in time, but if you don t know C# start with Windows and move to phone after as Windows have many more tutorials.
