Here is a great resource: Windows Phone Dev Center Click to expand... True, but a WP8 book would be a whole lot nicer. It doesn't look like there is a single one. It really feels like WP is an afterthought.

Also, I started here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/windowsphone/develop/jj714071(v=vs.105).aspx Seems like there are a lot of MS and user samples, tutorials, and guides on MSDN, check it out!
