I want to try and learn how to develop WP7 apps. My goal is to make an app for tumblr since all of the existing ones aren't very good. However, I have no experience with programming other than building websites.
I've looked up the App Hub and C9 tutorials but I think I'm ever more of a newbie than their newbie guides are geared toward. The first problem I've come across is that I want to build a Mango compatible app but it seems like the guides are outdated and so the steps are not accurate. Also, should I code in C# or the other language Visual Studio has? Then, how the heck do I integrate the tumblr API? I'm assuming this is basic knowledge for programmers so my question is about what tools you'd recommend for a beginner? I don't have the funds to take a course or buy a book so if you could recommend any tutorials that would be necessary to get on the fast track, I'd greatly appreciate it.
