As you know if you have looked at the other sections of my site, I have been doing web and .NET development for nearly 10 years. When an organization of which I am a member started giving presentations on Windows Phone 7 development and my old PDA died and I needed a replacement, I knew it was a sign that I should start expanding my development into the mobile and app areas. All this happened in early 2011, so although I currently have little experience in Windows Phone 7 app development, my motivation to learn and write code has kept me going, so hopefully my skills in app development will follow the same pattern my web development skills did and continue to grow!
