The Windows Phone is powered by Silverlight, so if you know Silverlight what else do you need to know to build Windows Phone applications? The Windows Phone operating system only runs one application at a time, but provides an application life-cycle unique to mobile applications. In this talk you will learn how to work with the phone's Fast Application Switching and Tombstoning features. You will also learn how to use Background Agents to allow your application to perform task when an application is not running.

Tim has been developing commercial IT management applications for 15 years and has been working with Silverlight since its release.
