Does anyone know where to start in this field? I just bought a Windows Phone.

I was previously writing apps for Android. So I have a background of Java. But not of .NET

Can anyone help me?

This may be a little late for an answer, but while I haven't done Windows Mobile development in a while, there should be an SDK you can download and install. Just make sure it's the right one. Knowing Microsoft, they're pushing the Windows 8 kit, and you probably don't have a Windows 8 phone. Then again, my understanding is that Windows 8 development is more constrained than older versions.

Also, check your cellular service provider's website and the phone manafacturer's websites. They may have custom versions of the SDK specific to that particular hardware. This is especially true for Windows devices, which don't do "write once/run anywhere" like Java does.

Nokia definitely does have SDKs for their phones - or at least they used to. Nokia isn't what it used to be.

Hi!

You can check also Mobile Cloud Backend, like QuickBlox which provides tools, APIs to integrate with existing modules and features. This link could be helpful, and also I you're planning to develop in other platforms they also provide APIs for Android, iOS, BlackBerry and Web.

Check this Windos Phone Section

Happy New Year!
