Building Windows Phone Apps: A Developer’s Guide’ is a community effort to capture useful information and learning about building apps on the Windows Phone platform. This is an organic effort – more chapters will be added and chapters will be updated as and when contributors choose to do so. I have a number of additional chapters in my inbox at the moment – expect those to be edited and included in the 2nd edition in the near future.
