Windows Phone Gray Accent Palette
I’d like to thank Paul Laberge, @plaberge, for helping me find the palette colors for the gray accent theme in Windows Phone for the lucky Nokia Lumia 800 users (UK users). I was able to create the palette colors at www.ColourLovers.com for other developers needs. Hope this can be helpful to you.

Exiting a Windows Phone Application...
This is just a helpful tip for those who do Windows Phone development. I had issues on trying to figure out what the best way was to exit my app from the app’s main root page. For a while I just threw an exception such as this:
protected override void OnBackKeyPress(System.ComponentModel.CancelEventArgs e)
{
base.OnBackKeyPress(e);

Abstract modifiers
I learned a new thing today, while talking to my friend through G+. Too lazy to be original on my thoughts on it cause I have to code now. But here is what an abstract modifier is.

Generic agents for Windows Phone 7 (overview)
I am learning about generic agents in Windows Phone 7. I thought I would share what type of agents are available for Windows Phone.
Generic agents enables you to run custom code at regular intervals in the background of an app. There is a 1:1 ratio of an app and a generic agent. Each app has only 1 agent.
