The full version of the "Windows Phone 7 Programming" ebook can be downloaded for free.

Currently, there are very limited development materials for learning Windows Phone 7. Apart from the official development documentation of msdn and some blogs, there are no other learning channels. Lucky to be a senior in the United StatesProgramCharles Petzold, a member and writer, released his latest masterpiece programming Windows Phone 7 series for free. His original books are classic books, including windows programming, which we are familiar.

At present, this book consists of 24 chapters, which provide an in-depth explanation of the features of the Windows Phone 7 platform, The XAML in terms of the program interface and layout, and xNa game development.
