As far as Windows Phone 7 development is concerned, Microsoft developers are using Silverlight, XNA and .NET platform to build different applications.

The expertise and familiarity with our tools is not lost. If you are a .NET developer today your skills and much of your code will move forward. If you are Silverlight or XNA developer today you’re gonna be really happy. New developers to the platform will find a cohesive, well designed API set with super productive tools.
