I apologize in advance for asking this on SO but I cant seem to find an answer anywhere else.
Is there a good tutorial for building non trivial app on windows phone (7 or 8) from start to finish.
as windows phone has many features you can follow the below link and choose your own Sample
Windows Phone Samples
Sample App Demonstration
It also depends on which language you want to code, although c# is popular among them.
All information to start can be found at http://dev.windowsphone.com/en-us
For example this first step-by-step tutorial

I am trying to develop universal app for first time. This may be a silly question, but is there any comprehensive documentation for c# developing? I need to partially migrate windows 8 app to universal app, but everything I need to use is different there and nowhere I can find what to use instead. It takes hours to find something useful. Mostly here or at other forums. MSDN is not very helpful in this case. I found that universal apps do not use .net framework or silverlight. Is possible to say that universal apps uses clearly labeled standard, for example .net framework 4.5? In this time it seems to me I have to use something from Windows Runtime apps and something from Windows Store apps APIs.
The MS Virtual Academy offers free courses (mostly jumpstarts) for things you might be interested in.
Below is a link to their jumpstart course:
Developing Universal Windows Apps with HTML and JavaScript Jump Start

And a link to their jumpstart course:
Programming in C# Jump Start

Hopefully, this will get you started.
What I was looking for:
Windows universal apps use Windows Runtime.
Only reliable official "MSDN like" page I found is http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/br211369.aspx
Good tutorials are at Channel 9.
I want to develop a metro style application using c# and xaml.In windows 8 there are many default apps like maps,weather etc.
Is there any way to get the source code for maps or weather app in windows 8?
Please help me.
All the Windows Store apps are installed to
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps
where you can look at them. The JavaScript apps are readable without problems, you need to decompile the C# apps to get to their source code. You can use tools like JustDecompile from Telerik (free).For more info see this article by Justin Angel http://justinangel.net/ReverseEngineerWin8Apps
I highly recommended you to visit Microsoft Windows Store app site. The site gives plenty of function-by-function examples.
Please download C# 30.9M sample files at below link and it would be good reference for you.
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsapps/Windows-8-Modern-Style-App-Samples
For more real-life example as you imagine,
The weather app example:

The map app example:
http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/Bing-Maps-SDK-for-Metro-31b378eb
I would like to know the best place to learn microsoft's metro style app dev. and msdn and build windows website prove to be pretty useless, I tried the tutorials there, where the first one was a blog reader and the tutorial is manifested in a poor way.
Get yourself a Pluralsight OnDemand subscription and start watching their courses.
http://www.buildwindows.com/ has great links for areas that are constantly adding content.
Many samples (oficial and by the community) that are on the App samples
Getting started with Windows Metro style app development guide at MSDN
And you can get help on Stackoverflow :) or the Social Microsoft support site

Does anybody know how to customize the Windows Jump-List feature related to my own application in C#? I know it can be done, but I cannot find anything C#/Windows7 related on MSDN yet. The only info related to W7 and C# I can find so far is just compatibility junk which I've already read.
Thanks all

You can do this with the Windows API Code Pack
There is a sample in Samples\Shell\TaskbarDemo\CS which shows you how to customise the Jump List and icon.
I am new to C# , working on C# for windows mobile.
I have done basic examples , however where should i get necessary documents (APIS , examples etc ) for C# so that i can explore more .
Windows Mobile Developer Center: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windowsmobile/default.aspx
OK, assuming that you're already familiar with Visual Studio, Emulators Images, or have already worked with actual devices, you should already have obtained the latest Windows Mobile SDKs; these already include lots of samples and documentation for both managed and unmanaged APIs.
However, you oughta know, most hardware vendors provide their own very specific SDKs and developer's libraries (i.e., for managing barcode and RFID readers, third party bluetooth stacks, add-on hardware, etc.). I'm not talking about crappy smartphones here, but industrial devices such as Motorola's or Intermec's rugged mobile computers.
You will have to sign up to gain access to their software libraries and knowledge bases, though.

Have fun.
MSDN? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/netframework/aa497273.aspx
You may want to check OpenNetCF. This library is very useful.
You may also have a look here where you will find a lot of useful information about developing for Windows Mobile. You can find links to the MSDN Forums and there are links to tons of videos in which certain tasks are explained very well (with source code in C# and VB.Net).
Good luck!
You're probably going to want to look at this question as well, as it's going to be very relevent for you.
