All I can suggest is that you try for yourself. If you download the developer tools from http://developer.windows.com/ (make sure you have plenty of bandwidth available) you get a complete set of tools for WP7 development.

The blend 4 application for windows phone will be the place to start. This is a tool that is aimed at letting the application developer design their application using graphical tools. That said it’s not possible to add functionality to the app without writing code but you will get an idea of how an application is built.

Open blend and select new project and choose data bound application. Hitting F5 will run this application in the phone emulator.

Good luck!

Sounded like a good night….
I’m a non dev, but am “interested” in getting started in hobbyist app development – how difficult is it?
