[Meta post of the day] XAML coding right on your WP7 device. Using the phone, to learn XAML, to learn how to build phone app's...

Social Ebola - Learn XAML + WP7 development right on your phone by writing and trying out samples!

We are really excited about our newest app! Now, the app is definitely targeted at the geekier users out there, but we think it’s really really cool!

Here’s the deal – you can use XAML and Javascript to try out Windows Phone 7.5 development right on your phone or through a browser. Load the app, create a new sample (or edit an existing one) and play around with XAML and see it right on your phone. Instead of C#, you will be using Javascript, but otherwise, you can tinker and play with it.

If you want to join the beta, email us (you will need to fix up the address)!

An entire sample is self contained inside one file. Here’s what a newly created sample looks like:

I've got to think there's some kind of security hole here or something, but still I think this looks kind of cool...
