I meet all of the qualifications except the last... I can tell you from current experience (I've written three small apps) that the documentation is really bad. The #1 biggest mistake, is that all of the examples, all of the information is based around the code behind scenario, while everyone who's been around for a while says to use the MVVM patterns. So for someone new to the platform (like myself), the documentation teaches worst practices! J.JaAnonymous
