Where can I find the SDK for new Windows Phone 7?
Couple of more resources:
Windows Phone 7 Training Kit
Silverlight.net learn videos for Windows Phone 7
Programming for Windows Phone 7 ebook by Charles Petzold
Edit: As the no-commenting-down-voter reminded me, these steps are no longer required as the installer now includes everything you need.
In addition to Rowland's answer, you'll need a few things installed in order to use Blend (for Silverlight animations):
Expression Blend 4 Beta
Microsoft Expression Blend Add-in Preview for Windows Phone
Microsoft Expression Blend SDK Preview for Windows Phone
Here are some other resources you might find useful:
Windows Phone Development on MSDN
Windows Phone Class Library Reference
Code Samples (not included with the SDK download; rather limited, but a good place to bookmark)
It hasn't been officially released as of yet. I heard it would be detailed at MIX.
A community Tech Preview of the tools is available through the Windows Mobile Developer website
You can find the new released SDK at the Windows Phone for Developers homepage.
Click the "Download the Developer Tools" link on the right hand side.
It includes a specialized version of Visual Studio 2010 Express and a device emulator.

In an article I've read that Windows 10 Professional is required to use Desktop App Converter. Is this still true for Windows 11?
As I am using Windows 11 Home, will I be required to purchase Windows 11 Professional edition to do this?
"Desktop App Converter" has been deprecated. The replacement is the MSIX Packaging Tool. The documentation is on Microsoft Docs.
I want to develop an application for my nokia lumia 1320.I 've searched and found that UWP only develops for windows 10 phone but my phone cant be further updated to windows 10 from windows 8.1.Please guide me through.I 've looked for older versions of VS but i guess MS has removed them.
Thanks in advance
You need to use VS2015 to develop for WP81. You are right it is not exactly easy for find an installer for VS2015, but links in this article work: http://www.kunal-chowdhury.com/2015/07/download-visualstudio-2015.html#2ial3gRLXvav52pU.97
I am having a nokia lumia 720 ,for which half of the screen touch is not working.So I decided to make a app which clicks internally (like a mouse pointer for screen) as changing the display at my place is difficult(not having enough money) I am using windows phone 8.1,visual studio 2012 and my desktop OS is windows 8 32 bit(not activated,trail version) can any body help me what are the tools required for developing windows phone app at my case.I have searched MSDN where I didn't get much help.
You need to register as an app developer.
Then download the tools.
I'm not 100% sure, but I think Visual Studio 2013 may be required for Windows Phone 8.1 app development. You should be able to use the free Express edition.
Can anybody provide me the link or blog-post for kernel level and core features differences between windows phone 7 and windows phone 8?
From a developers point of view? :Nokia has a guide for side by side development highlighting the differences
You can see difference between Windows phone 7 and Windows phone 8 here.
Don't forget you've acces to the update system information here with new features by updates...
But all windows phone devices have not already the last version of the system.
Also, a new "Big Update" named "GDR2" ( it's the windows phone 8.1 version) is actually in progress for the windows phone 8... lot of websites list all new features for this update. here for sample.
This does not seem to exist. All that I want is a simple, up to date tutorial or guide as to how I can utilise the TTS features on Windows Phone 7.5.
Microsoft have released a tutorial for this in WP8 recently, where it is much easier to implement.

You cannot use TTS speech in Windows Phone 7.5 as it was not exposed directly earlier for Windows Phone 7 devices. But You can use this Hawaii Research project
