This is the best book I read till the moment about developing applications for Windows Phone 7. The book is focusing on SilverLight applications, which is something I appreciate!

It started with brief history and background about the Microsoft mobile operating systems, later you got the basic concepts you are required to cover about the current operating system before your start developing.

The book is very well structured in chapters, where each chapter represent common tasks that a developer might want to accomplish.

It is very recommended for those who want to jump developing a Windows Phone apps now!
