Migrating a Silverlight Application to Windows Phone 7–Part II
In this post I'm going to walk through additional
features that have been added to the album viewer
application that I wrote about in a
previous post. Topics that I’ll cover include using the Pivot
control, navigating between screens using the
NavigationService class and leveraging data binding
along with the Model-View-ViewModel (MVVM) pattern. The
image below shows the application discussed in my last
post on the topic. The user can search for albums by
artist and view a carousel containing album covers. From
there they can move the carousel right or left using the
arrow buttons and select an album to view more
information.

Migrating a Silverlight Application to Windows Phone 7
I’m amazed at how quickly Windows Phone 7 applications can be developed. It’s really nice to leverage existing skills and apply them directly to phone development. In my previous post I provided a high-level look at what Windows Phone 7 has to offer and showed a few code samples to help get started. In this post I’m going to walk through the process of migrating an existing Silverlight application from Silverlight to Windows Phone 7. It’s an app that I built back in the WPF/e days (the very first app I tried out on the alpha framework actually) and something that I thought would be fun to convert to Windows Phone 7.

Getting Started with Windows Phone 7 Development
Mobile phone development has exploded over the past few years and with the release of Windows Phone 7 there's a new mobile platform available that offers an extremely productive way to build applications and games. With Windows Phone 7 you can build Silverlight or XNA applications and take advantage of languages and tools you already know. In fact, if you're already familiar with Silverlight then you can instantly be productive building Windows Phone 7 applications since the same overall concepts apply.
