I am new Windows Phone App development for A start i want you guys help .Some best tutorials to read and start and please help me how to do complete setup for this development.Please hep me .what i need to start the development process . In which languages can we start the development of Windows Phone
To begin with, WELCOME to the best mobile platform to develop for. It may not be apparent to you now but the Windows Phone has the best tools and one of the easiest languages to learn supporting it.
As a new Windows Phone Developer you will need a few things to get started:
First you will need to download if you haven't already, Visual Studio Express (or other version if you have it).
It can be found here
I would recommend downloading Visual Studio 2012 Express For Windows Phone
This should also provide you with the SDK
Once this is all installed you are ready to get developing. There is a slew of great tutorials out there on the basics of Windows Phone Development.
When you feel comfortable investing some money into your education I would HIGHLY recommend PluralSight This is a professional learning resource that provides THE BEST video training on the market.
If you want to take a cheaper approach to education then here are a few books I would recommend. 101 Windows Phone Apps and also Windows Phone 8 A Problem Solution Approach . Though not required, these books will provide you with the solid foundation you need to become a successful developer.
Finally, once you have your app complete you are going to need to get it on the market! Simply sign up for a developer account at the Windows Phone Developer Hub They will have all the instructions you need there to getting your app certified and on the market.
Congratulations again on starting in Windows Phone Development. Also welcome to Stack Overflow.
EDIT# You can find a complete tutorial on my blog AnthonyRussell.info
Why not start by the beggining?
Go to the official Windows Phone WebSite and learn the started Tutorial here
After you knows bases, you can read this, on the Nokia Website for developer... (with lot of tutorial...)
Windowsphone developer page:
I think you will find everything you asked there - and many many more information.
And you should begin with this:

I am developing Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone 8 applications. I would like to send my apps for some competition with prizes to win. So far I found that best site for this is DVLUP. But I'm sure that many other contests are organized like Geek Club etc. DVLUP is really nice but I'm fed up with missing cool contests and centralized place to find out about them would be cool (like DVLUP but more than just one organizer)
DVLUP Is hands down the most supported, best prizes, and most quickly updated site there is for Windows Phone Development Challenges. It is hosted by Nokia and partners with all of the big names like Microsoft and Telerik to bring a well rounded experience to all Windows Phone Developers. I pushed an app out a few months ago that got me 5400 points! For just 1 app! (That is almost the equivalent to $300)
To ANYONE experienced or not, I 100% stand behind DVLUP. It is a great way to focus the collective of developers in on the vacumes in the market, while also paying out HUGE dividends to those that take part in the programs. Not to mention they do a bunch of great events around the world. Just like the one I took part in last weekend in Boston. It was called DVLUP Day. A TON of fun.
Okay I am off my soap box. DVLUP is the best site there is. You can look at others but it's the best.

Did every application of windows is developed using WINDOWS API?
Or they use any any other kind of languages.
Can any give me the good tutorial links for developing windows application's.
Essentially, all applications running on Windows are built on top of the Windows API. This includes applications written in .NET and WinRT. Both of these systems are implemented in terms of the Windows API.
When it comes to developing applications there are countless options. You can develop Windows applications using the Windows API (C/C++/Delphi/...), the .NET framework (C#/Visual Basic.NET/F#/C++-CLI/...), or WinRT (with language projections for just about any language out there, like C++/CX).
On top of that there are numerous (GUI) frameworks available, like MFC, Qt, Windows Forms, or WPF.
Regardless of the platform, programming language, or framework, all applications will eventually call into the Windows API. Even if your next project is not going to target the Windows API directly, it's always a good idea to know what's going on underneath. A very good and compact introduction to Windows API programming is theForger's Win32 API Tutorial. For the definitive guide you should check out Charles Petzold's Programming Windows.

I have windows dev account and so I registered my WP device Nokia Lumia 710 in windows dev center to test my apps I currently building... I have Windows Phone sdk 7.1. there were some sites that you can directly download xap files of known Applications that is free in Windows phone App store. Due to high rates in Mobile GPRS (300Mb for 1 US$ in Sri Lanka and it quietly high in here) I decided to download apps manually and deploy it using "Application Deployment" in Windows Phone sdk.
I could deploy round 10 apps to my device, but after that is giving me a error saying "The maximum number of developer applications on this phone has been reached" as a solution it suggest to remove a developer app and try again.
What's the reason for this?
Thank you
The reason is to prevent what you're doing. When unlocking a phone, you're supposed to deploy only applications you've developed. In which case it is unlikely to reach the 10 apps limitation.
Now, you could argue that deploying free apps doesn't harm anyone, and I agree (except that you don't get the automatic updates). But if you can deploy free apps, you can also deploy paid apps. So I believe it's primarily to prevent piracy that Microsoft has enforced that limit.
By the way, if you want to avoid using your mobile plan, you can download and install apps directly from a desktop PC by using Zune. That way, you're still using the Marketplace, and the number of deployed apps isn't limited.

I am trying to start some mobile development adventure. The Windows Phone looks promising to me. But I don't want to take the wrong path.
So, what's the difference between WP7.5 and WP8 from a developer's perspective?
Will the skillset for WP7.5 still apply to WP8?
Difference? Nothing, really. The IDE is now VS2012, and you need Windows 8. The Emulator is running Hyper-V, and is a lot faster.
If you make games, you'll be have to learn DirectX instead of XNA. But for regular apps, there's no difference to the development.
You can of course use C++/CX now, should you wish it, but in reality everything is still C# 5 and XAML.
My recommendations would be to continue learning WP7, C# and XAML. Read about the new features in C# 5, specially async programming, and learn how it can enhance your development.
Right now we don't yet know the definitive details (unless someone with access to the preview SDK can expand on that) however it is unlikely that the basics will change too much.
Current standard WP7.5 apps should run on WP8 - Microsoft has said they will be centrally adjusting the apps for this compatibility.

As just now, I heard about the Windows Phone 7 development. So I would like to know the following things regarding Windows Phone 7:
From where can I start with Windows Phone 7 development? What are the best books/article/code blog/tutorial, etc.
Which are the tools I should need/download to start with Windows Phone 7 development?
Update:
I found this very much helpful: http://www.devx.com/VS_2010/Article/45898/9851
You can get started by downloading the tools and registering to publish here: http://create.msdn.com/en-us/home/getting_started
There are a lot of very good tutorials out there. I recommend Channel9's Windows Phone 7 training course and Windows Phone 7 for the Absolute Beginner.
There's also a very good book available as a free PDF download: Programming Windows Phone 7 by Charles Petzold.
Each of the following contains a long list of useful resources:
All about Windows Phone (eugenedotnet)
Windows Phone 7 Resources (indyfromoz)
Mike’s Mega List of Windows Phone 7 Resources (mikeormond)
Mega List of Windows 7 Phone Resources (Frank La Vigne)
Ultimate List of Free Windows Phone 7 Software & Resources (Blake Handler)
Windows Phone 7 – List of Tutorials and Resources (onishimura)
Windows Phone 7 Resources and Links (XDA Developers)
The best resources for Windows Phone 7 Development (Mark Kirby)
Windows Phone 7 Developer Resources (Blankenblog)
via http://wpug.net/resources
Once you get past the basics, you may want to have a look at the Windows Phone 7 Development Best Practices Wiki.
From where I started to learn, here are the links =)

I use this for reference

The best resources for Windows Phone 7 Development
Getting Started with Silverlight and Windows Phone 7 Development
If you have C# experience then Windows Phone 7 is easy. Just use MSDN for what is and is not allowed, much the same as a desktop/web C# application using .NET.
If you don't know C# start by learning Visual Studio and C# by building some basic Windows Form applications, get more advanced until you feel comfortable, and then move to Windows Phone 7.
I was one of the showcase application developers from MS so I got dropped in the dark with a short deadline, but once I got it all installed and started working with it MSDN was the best help as there were not many tutorials at that point in time, but if you don't know C# start with Windows and move to phone after as Windows have many more tutorials.
