I was reading through the Q&A from @wp7sdev and saw confirmation that Silverlight and XNA are going to be the main development technologies for Windows Phone 7 Series. This information had been leaked by xda-developers.com a few weeks ago but I wanted to wait until I heard word through official channels before really talking about it. WP7S phones will not be backwards compatible with Windows Mobile 6.5 applications at all. It is entirely new. So what does this mean for me?
I already play with XNA on my Zune and my Xbox and I work with Silverlight on a daily basis for my occupation. So I've already got a background with the technologies. Since it is relevant to Windows Mobile I'll be blogging about it here! What does this mean for the Windows Mobile 6.x technologies and me? Microsoft says they will still be investing in those technologies so I'll be blogging about them for as long as Microsoft is supporting them.
I did a few presentations on Silverlight a year and I still have the videos on them. They are actually on this site some where! (though only people at the presentation know the URL. Sorry, my bandwidth on this site is limited). I'llsee about updating them, re-recording them, and getting them uploaded to YouTube.com.
