MySchoolApp - Windows Phone 7 Starter Kit for building a, well, My School App... (C# and VB)

Dr. Z's Blog - A Windows Phone 7 Application Starter Kit

"You can download the application along with source code (both VB.NET and C#) here. Though this application, created by Mark Frydenberg at Bentley University, is for a school, you can easily replace the logo, links to RSS and web sites in the xml files to make it your own and publish it to Microsoft marketplace. The source code is available under CDDL. Happy Coding!

Introduction - MySchoolApp is a customizable application written in Visual Basic for the Windows Mobile Phone platform using Visual Studio Professional 2010. The application combines links to RSS and Web sites about a school, and displays a map and local weather. It uses a Panorama control to provide slick navigation by swiping from one pane to another. See the full details in the MySchoolApp data attached - http://www.codeplex.com/Project/Download/FileDownload.aspx?ProjectName=myschoolapp&DownloadId=209131

How cool is it that a third party is releasing a starter kit like this? And that he took the time to do a C# AND VB version? Too cool... :)

Here's a snip from the 9 page DocX with the project;
