There’s a lot of activity around Windows Phone 7 development.

Check out this collection of code samples, articles and blogposts at Reddit.

Among them:

Shawn Wildermuth – My First WP7 Application; he borrowed a panoramic application concept from another Windows Phone developer, to combine with Silverlight code to create a simple game browser. “Remember, I am not much of a UI guy. But the approach to building a Silverlight  app for the phone was surprisingly straightforward,” he writes.

Andy Beaulieu, in Windows Phone 7 + Silverlight Graphics Performance, has some tips for optimizing Silverlight performance on the phone.

Alex Yakhnin looks at Deep Zoom on WP7, a techonology that lets you interactively view high-resolution images (the demo I saw at MIX10 was pretty impressive. He’s got some sample code.

On Twitter, you can track #wp7, #wp7dev for fellow developers and the emerging twitterverse of links for Windows Phone.
