Windows Phone 7 SDK

Question

Where can I find the SDK for new Windows Phone 7?

Answer 1

Couple of more resources:

• Windows Phone 7 Training Kit
• Silverlight.net learn videos for Windows Phone 7
• Programming for Windows Phone 7 ebook by Charles Petzold

Answer 2

Edit: As the no-commenting-down-voter reminded me, these steps are no longer required as the installer now includes everything you need.

In addition to Rowland's answer, you'll need a few things installed in order to use Blend (for Silverlight animations):

• Expression Blend 4 Beta
• Microsoft Expression Blend Add-in Preview for Windows Phone
• Microsoft Expression Blend SDK Preview for Windows Phone

Here are some other resources you might find useful:

• Windows Phone Development on MSDN
• Windows Phone Class Library Reference
• Code Samples (not included with the SDK download; rather limited, but a good place to bookmark)

Answer 3

It hasn't been officially released as of yet. I heard it would be detailed at MIX.

Answer 4

A community Tech Preview of the tools is available through the Windows Mobile Developer website

Answer 5

You can find the new released SDK at the Windows Phone for Developers homepage.

Click the "Download the Developer Tools" link on the right hand side.

It includes a specialized version of Visual Studio 2010 Express and a device emulator.
