Add Ons

Silverlight Toolkit for Windows Phone

This would have been ideally packaged directly within the WP SDK, but the harsh realities of a big software company sometimes mean you don't get 'ideal'. They are super important and cool.

Coding4Fun Tools

Who can argue with 'fun'? I know i can't.

Windows Azure Toolkit for Windows Phone

Makes it easy to build apps (and games), that leverage Azure services. This is an amazing feat in and of itself, worthy of several academy awards, at least.

Videos

WP for Absolute Beginners

Astonishingly good series of many videos about how to program for Windows Phone. Even though it is targeted at people who do not know programming at all, I highly recommend it, because it is so well 'grounded,' and gives you a great understanding of why things are done the way they are in C#, IMO.

Primary Windows Phone node in the MSDN Library

This is our 'official' documentation. Note, not _all_ of the official documentation lives under this node. Since Windows Phone's application platform is predominantly based on Silverlight and XNA, you also need to be aware of the key nodes for those specific technologies as well. (supra.).
