Panoramic Navigation on Windows Phone 7 with No Code!
I was reading through the UI Design and Interaction Guide for Windows Phone 7 Series and found out that there is currently no panoramic application template or control provided as part of the standard application platform.

Consuming data from Nimbus Using LinqToXML (Updated) on iPhone + WP7!
I’ve been starting to explore iPhone development lately.
