Windows Phone 7: Experiência para programadores (XXIII): Windows Phone Developer Tools Beta release já disponível

As ferramentas de desenvolvimento para Windows Phone 7, seja utilizando o Silverlight, seja o XNA, conhecem mais um estágio antes de atingirem a sua versão final. Das anteriores CTP passamos agora a uma versão Beta, o que significa que a desejada RTW estará cada vez mais próxima e as ferramentas também elas mais fidedignas em relação ao que a versão final oferecerá. Entre os links abaixo encontra onde descarregar as ferramentas, como desinstalar as anteriores, formação online, o que ter em conta ao migrar os projectos para esta nova versão, entre outros tópicos:
