Series Introduction - Day 1 - Part 1

If I subscribe to this series, I only get the most recent 25 episodes, so I don't get the intro videos.  Any ideas why?  Looks like there are 63 total, but only 25 show when I subscribe to the RSS feed.

I was a little surprised to not find this series listed under the 'Learn' section. What's the thinking there?

Is there a way of downloading the series in order so I can place it on the school file server?  As they are they do not seem to be in any kind of order.  I want to teach Win 7 Phone programming as the core of my Programming 4 course next semester and these sure would make life simple.

Yeah, not being in order is kind of rediculous -- at least include the step# on within the title!
Otherwise, great job!
 

I listed all the videos in the correct order (I believe) here for a quick-and-dirty list.

Perfect!

nice

I think these video series would be more beneficial, if there were texts documents or a PDF that provides information to the user, instead of relying on videos. I'm really mad, I thought these tutorials seemed interesting, but I'm able to veiw the videos on my blackberry. Ugh! :( :(

lol, I need SILVERLIGHT to watch this?! LAWL!!!
seriously dude?!?!??? 
I'm a developer on Linux, for years now, and I just wanted to get a sneak peak of your presentation, and you're telling me I need SILVERLIGHT?!!?!
LOOOOOOLZSSSSS
never gonna happen.
kthxbye 

Hi Clint thanks for this great series!  I've had no trouble viewing the vids and It seems normal to me that a tutorial which includes silverlight, requires silverlight to view :-)

The order of these videos are so bad.......

The RSS feeds are still messed up. All 63 should appear but they don't. May I suggest you scrap the entire feed and remake it and put the lessons on a new feed in the correct order. Maybe there is an easiler way...Not sure..My Zune only sees the last 20 or so.

Could these be made available in the Zune Marketplace as a Podcast? That seems to be the easiest way for me to subscribe to these videos. Are there any other tricks to getting them automatically downloaded to my Zune? Thanks!

Are you guys aware that your Silverlight video's always crash at least in my in Firefox 3.6 browser the moment you want to watch them fullscreen? The Firefox browser totally freezes up when the Silverlight warning message pops up. 

Very nice series! I'm about 2/3 of the way through and thoroughly enjoying it. Well Done!

Thank you very much~~~

HOW CAN WINDOWS PHONE 7 INTERACT WITH AN ASP.NET MVC WEBSITE?
Hi I would really like to know how I can make Windows Phone 7 play with an ASP.NET MVC website. I would suggest that some MS person or a geek would give us some examples of how to write an WP7 application or WP7 web client that interact with an ASP.NET MVC website.
Could you write some WP7 stuff that plays with these popular and well known ASP.NET MVC tutorial websites (Nerddinner and TheBeerHouse):
http://www.nerddinner.com/Home/About
http://thebeerhouse.codeplex.com/releases/view/27519
I have found a link for a guy who has already started this work:
http://amazedsaint.blogspot.com/2010/04/bing-maps-odata-windows-phone-7-nerd.html
I am very interested if anybody has further references about these matters: How WP7 can interact with an ASP.NET MVC website, so please let us know if you know anything!
Thank you!

Hi,
I am unable watch the video's. An error message "Media Failure. Try reloading the page or visit the main site for assistance". Is this a problem my end? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks, Richard

I have Visual Studio 2010 Premium. Do I need specifically Express for phone?
Thanks.

@Jophus
You can download the free tools for Windows Phone 7 development, they will automatically integrate with your Visual Studio 2010.

Me to.

good

As a contractor that never gets to stay in one technology for very long, this looks to be a nice series. Thanks for putting it together. I need to get Microsoft trained and certified this year in order to stay marketable. I thought I'd jump into mobility development.
 

It looks like plenty of people have posted that they have issues with the ordering of the videos. I just posted the feed into my Zune to view it as a podcast and yikes! Some suggestions, adding a date code or episode number to the beginning of each video title would help for ordering them alphabetically, like most software can. Also, a more time consuming method would be to repost all of them in order so they could be sorted by air date like a podcast. Since it appears most of the vidoes were posted on the same day, putting them in order with Zune definitely doesn't work.

Hmm, you know what? It seems my Zune has been able to sort them all out after all. Disregard my comment before then. But the naming convention would be good still. I find when downloading a tv series or something that the following naming scheme works good. "Series_Title_S01E01-Episode_Title"  Where S01 is the season number and E01 is the episode number.

Thanks very much for this tutorial series.  Is there any place I can go to download the entire series (instead of each video one-by-one)?

Thanks!

@FuzzyLogician: if you are using Zune software, which you should if you have a WP7, you can copy the shortcut for the RSS Subscribe on the front page into Zune as a podcast link and it will download all the videos for you if you tell it to. Go to Podcasts in your collection, click Add Podcast, and paste the following: http://channel9.msdn.com/Series/Windows-Phone-7-Development-for-Absolute-Beginners/RSS

The podcast is not high quality version ;-(

The high quality version is so much better for seeing what's actually being typed. Is there a way I can d'/l them all in HD WMV and put them in order plz?  Thanks

First of all I am complete noob.
I have a WinCE 6.5 based device, I want to know, applications developed for Win 7 Mobile (particularly this tutorial application) will work on that.
Thank You

Hey, after 3:30 minutes watching the video (with the HTML5 player if that's important) suddenly the audio track started from the beginning WHILE THE VIDEO AND ITS AUDIO CONTINUED PLAYING!

This is a major PITA and I would like to ask you to correct this.

Cool video!

Thanks for uploading such an informative tutorial.
But can you tell me whether I can start building games too with this whole tutorial?
