Programming for Windows Phone 7 is fun too

In the ongoing competition to create Mobile applications, I started to see more and more books and "treaties" dedicated to iPhones and iPads, and the popular Android phones, very well designed and written and I was starting to get jealous till I finally came across this book: 101 Windows Phone 7 Apps, Volume I (Volume II, applications 51 to 101, is to be released in the near future), by Adam Nathan, published by Sams Publishing. This is a beautiful and practical book with well thought out explanations and examples to create useful and fun to develop applications. Incidentally I could not find an appropriate Web page to link directly to the publisher, so I resorted to Amazon. Begining iOS 4 Application Development, by Wei-Meng Lee, is a good example when it comes to comparing how Microsoft had been resting on its laurels... and then came along the iPhone and the iPad and the iPhone Touch... I don't mean to say, however, that there is not already a good deal of books on WP7 development and programming...
