Windows Phone 7 Dev for Beginners… And we’re talking absolute, new to development/programming, just learned to spell IDE, beginners

Computer Science Teacher - Thoughts and Information from Alfred Thompson - Windows Phone 7 Development for Absolute Beginners

“I’m excited about this. It is a series of videos designed as a four day workshop for learning Windows Phone 7 development. And it is for absolute beginners not seasoned professional developers. It’s from Microsoft’s Channel 9 team and so the production quality as well as the technical information is rock solid. May be just the thing for getting started in smart phone development in school, as a hobby or even eventually career work. Check it out.

Cool Stuff - Windows Phone 7 development for absolute beginners

“We have just launched an all new series that teaches beginning developers with little programming experience how to develop applications for Windows Phone 7.  This series assumes that they have absolutely no knowledge of C#, Silverlight, or mobile development.  In just a few hours, they will understand the needed concepts to build applications.” [GD:Post leached in full]

Channel 9 - Windows Phone 7 Development for Absolute Beginners

“This video series will help aspiring Windows Phone 7 developers get started. We'll start off with the basics and work our way up so in a few hours, you will know enough to build simple WP7 applications, such as a GPS aware note taking application.  We'll walk you through getting the tools, knowing what an if statement is, to using the GPS built into the phone and much more!
