In this video we will introduce some concepts around choosing an application type to build on Windows Phone. On the current version of Windows Phone we can choose between building a Silverlight application, XNA application, or combine the two. We will build a Silverlight application and discuss some details for getting started with Silverlight application development on Windows Phone.  

In this video we will introduce some concepts around building an XNA application for Windows Phone.
