The Microsoft MVP project team was notified that Microsoft has released the beta development tool for Windows Phone 7 in advance-Windows Phone Developer Tootls CTP. The tool package includes: visual Studio 2010 Express for Windows Phone CTP (Development Tool); Windows Phone Emulator CTP (simulator); Silverlight for Windows Phone CTP (interface rendering technology ); XNA 4.0 Game Studio CTP (Game Development Framework) 4 majority; this kit requires users to install online, and only supports Windows 7 and Windows Vista operating systems as the development environment. Currently, Windows Phone 7 has very limited books and materials. In addition to the official development documentation of MSDN in the United States, there are almost no other learning channels. Fortunately, Charles Petzold, a Senior Programmer and writer in the United States, released a Beta version of the Development book Programming windows phone 7 series. Although there are only six short chapters, I have made an in-depth explanation of the features of the Windows Phone 7 platform, the advantages of XAML in the program interface and layout, and XNA game development.
