Why Windows Phone 7? Being not really fond of Apple, and having an aging Nokia phone, I've been on the lookout for a new phone for quite a while. From the moment I heard about Windows Phone 7, the gorgeous new Metro UI and pretty much nothing but awesome about it, I knew instantly that it would be a perfect fit for me.
Being a developer at a very awesome company, I figured I should really stop talking about how much I like the idea of Windows Phone 7, and start doing some actual coding. As I've also been looking to upskill on XAML and Silverlight, this is pretty much killing an entire flock of birds with one stone.
I know some C#, but not much Silverlight, XNA or XAML, so there's definitely going to be some kind of learning curve here, but until the phone comes out proper later this year, the closest I'll be able to get to it is making lots and lots of apps in anticipation!
The developer tools beta package is downloading right now, as we speak...
