In this edition of Inside Windows Phone, we welcome Microsofts resident Ninja Ben Lower to the stage to talk about all the things were doing to help student developers get started building outstanding apps and games for Windows Phone. Here are a bunch of links to the various things we talked about: TouchDevelop . An amazing platform on top of Windows Phone for programming, directly ON your Windows Phone. Check out their complete http://www.touchdevelop.com/ website , or download the http://www.windowsphone.com/en-US/apps/fe08ccec-a360-e011-81d2-78e7d1fa76f8 app directly. XAPfest . Xapfest is a periodic training event led by Ben, in a number of different venues. You can watch a video of a XAPfest presentation http://research.microsoft.com/apps/video/dl.aspx?id=152374 here . Update to Mango . Weve published many resources about how to update your application to Mango.
