Overview: Windows Phone 7 (WP7) was released in the end of October 2010 on the HTC Mozart, Samsung Omnia 7 & LG Optimus 7 in the UK. WP7 apps are written in .NET and based on Silverlight or XDA. As a C# enterprise developer I always use Silverlight as this is for Rich Internet Applications (RIA). Microsoft XDA is for games development.
Tooling: Microsoft have great free tools such as expression blend and Visual Studio 2010 express for WP7.
Training: Microsoft have done a great job on providing getting started examples and video learning via Channel 9. It really can't be simpler. Take a look at Channel 9's Windows Phone 7 Development for Absolute Beginners.

There is a single download for all the tools including the Windows Phone 7 emulator.
VS has dedicate template for the WP7 in VS2010 that are a good starting point.
There is Intelisense and full debugging integration with the WP7 emulator.
Xaml is responsible for the UI and it's pretty straight forward especially if you have done ant Silverlight development previously.
