How do I download the videos?
- To download, right click the file type you would like and pick “Save target as…” or “Save link as…”
Why should I download videos from Channel9?
- It's an easy way to save the videos you like locally.
- You can save the videos in order to watch them offline.
- If all you want is to hear the audio, you can download the MP3!
Which version should I choose?
- If you want to view the video on your PC, Xbox or Media Center, download the High Quality WMV file (this is the highest quality version we have available).
- If you'd like a lower bitrate version, to reduce the download time or cost, then choose the Medium Quality WMV file.
- If you have a Zune, WP7, iPhone, iPad, or iPod device, choose the low or medium MP4 file.
- If you just want to hear the audio of the video, choose the MP3 file.
Right click “Save as…”
- High Quality WMV (PC, Xbox, MCE)
- MP3 (Audio only)
- MP4 (iPod, Zune HD)
- Mid Quality WMV (Lo-band, Mobile)
It has been said that if you know Silverlight then you are already a Windows Phone 7 developer. Jesse Liberty joins John Papa this week to explore that statement and demonstrate the side-by-side creation of both a Silverlight application and a Windows Phone
application.
Watch as Jesse cracks open Visual Studio 2010 and creates two similar applications: one for Silverlight and one for Windows Phone 7. He does this all from scratch so you get to see every step along the way.

Perhaps this is Microsoft's secret sauce. Theoretically, creating a phone application means you just created an application that can run on Windows and Mac.
I for one wouldn't mind having metro inspired IM cilents and twitter clients that are the same on both the mobile platform and the desktop world!
I would like to see the Panaroma and Pivot controls made available for regular Silverlight apps, as well. Anyone know if these controls will be added to SL SDK or Toolkit? These would go great as tables/slates become more popular.

Thanks for reply. I read this the other day. Good post for these controls. I was talking about that it would be nice to see the Panorama and Pivot controls to be added to the regular SDK or Toolkit ( not just the Phone ).
Hey Now John,
Great Vid!
Thx 4 the info,
Catto
Actually my intent was not to suggest that writing for the phone is the same as writing for the PC; they are very different platforms (see, for example, my discussion of TransMedia). I was only demonstrating that many of the coding skills you have as a Silverlight programmer will carry over, making the learning curve a good bit flatter. Some programs will no doubt work well virtually as is on both platforms, but as more than one person has noted, size matters, and a phone ain't a computer
At this point, there are tons of "getting started" videos, but none, that guides to complete app or anything remotely as advanced. Would really be interested if you guys publish bit more "advanced" videos, atleast intermediate level videos.
