Hey guys, I was dabbling a bit with visual studio and I was wondering if there's any tips or tricks you can let me know about. So far I made a minibrowser app, which was the example by Microsoft for a tutorial. I know I am pretty new at this haha.

What is your language of choice for development? My language of choice is C#. If you know java, it's not very hard to learn C#.Hey guys, I was dabbling a bit with visual studio and I was wondering if there's any tips or tricks you can let me know about.

On WP development the information is a little sparse so DON'T forget to search before posting any querie, you may be stuck on a problem that others had past alreary and maybe anyone will help you.
What I will say is persevere and don't give up if a problem is really stubborn and try as you might it won't work. Happened to me with navigation, I eventually had a genius moment and cracked it. Best. Feeling. Ever.
a tiny few of the ton available on the interwebs not in any particular order:
Try to master the async style of coding i.e. using non- blocking threads for downloads, web service exchanges etc
use MVVM, I made a big mistake by avoiding it (there is a MVVM lite framework AFAIK)
always prioritize information above flashy stuff and unique designs
use forums like stackoverflow(most active and helpgul), msdn social, wpcentral dev forums (last option) for any queries
and I can keep going on
I started learning how to code in C#, seems easy so far and I like doing it so far. The only thing I don't understand is what the difference in between C# and C++ is.
A lot. I know both Java and C++, can't say much about C# yet (other than it being closer to Java than C++) but I can name one big difference off the top of my head: garbage collection. C# handles releasing of resources where with C++ you'll need to manage it yourself (e.g. So you won't run out of memory) Not to say that you still don't have to worry about resource management in C#, but a lot of it is handled for you. Same with Java.I started learning how to code in C#, seems easy so far and I like doing it so far. The only thing I don't understand is what the difference in between C# and C++ is.
