Hanselminutes Podcast 207 - Charles Petzold on Windows Phone 7 Series
My two-hundred-and-seventh podcast is up. Charles Petzold wrote the book on Windows. Specifically, he wrote "Programming Windows, 1st edition" in 1988. This was the book I learned on and I still have it on my shelf. Charles has never stopped writing and is now working on a free book for Microsoft Press called "Programming Windows Phone 7 Series." I get the scoop from Chuck in this interview recorded in the waning hours of Mix 10 in Las Vegas.

I want to add a big thanks to Telerik. Without their support, there wouldn't be a Hanselminutes. I hope they, and you, know that. Someone's gotta pay the bandwidth. Thanks also to Carl Franklin for all his support over these last 4 years!

About Newsletter
Naturally, that would have been my first guess as well... :)
"Silverlight for Windows Phone includes the Microsoft .NET Compact Framework."
Now I'm a bit confused :s
Don't be confused, it is based on the compact framework, however it is based on its own customized version of the Compact Framework that is entirely specific to Windows Phone 7. If you search the forums you can find that its based on version CF 3.7.xxxx, as each minor version changes for each build they do or has tended to do so currently. You can see the breakdown of the versions here: http://sviluppomobile.blogspot.com/2010/03/wp7-emulator-build-7006077.html
