Sorry, but I don't know anything about software development of any type.

Check out the Microsoft training and Visual Studio for Windows Phone. I think the languages are C# or JavaScript.

Although every language has its pros and cons, I would recommend C# for every beginner. I think it is the most convenient language for the windows platform yet. You will find lots of links to ready-to-run samples in the microsoft documentations. Use them for experimenting with the stuff that you later want to use in your own app...
