Hi, I've just clicked on the link and it works fine. The page loads as expected and I'm not getting any error message.

I guess it means one has to pay for novice material from Microsoft Press. :( Charles Petzold does indicate in the introductory section of Programming Windows Phone 7 that;

I assume that you know the basic principles of .NET programming and you have a working familiarity with the C# programming language.

To save y'all the trouble of looking it's mostly incredibly boring manuals for microsoft's more obscure products; the kind of stuff that comes on the install disk. Sigh.

For the book you have mentioned "Programming Windows Phone 7", if a novice programmer has basic or medium knowledge of C#.NET still s/he wouldn't be able to start learning something new BASED ON C#.NET KNOWLEDGE from that book! And, well, I don't think Microsoft press has good writers. APress and Wrox have; and sometimes even Dummies ("x programming for Dummies") has good books than Microsoft press!

I just tried it to and got the same error.

[bobc4012]

Then there is something going on as some of us get that error message. It may be some setting, or having to log in someplace or whatever. I tred it again and still get the same error message the others received.

I don't understand why some people take pleasure in downvoting. The link did not work for me and also for few more people in this thread..May be it is sometimes down. But that does not mean the reply should be downvoted..

Great collection. Not for novices, but good compilations

... and in case you don't know the basics, Charles Petzold has a free eBook on his Homepage named ".Net Book zero", wich covers most of .Net basics
