cv

I'm a long time Microsoft developer who has recently started publishing Windows Phone 7 apps to beef up my current C#/.NET skills, and get more direct exposure to WPF/Silverlight, and of course because it is new and cool.

So far I've published over 10 apps successfully.

Is this a good thing to put on my resume?
Does it appear to show a grasp of the latest Microsoft technologies?
Any downside seen by potential employers?
Would you put this on your resume, if looking for a full time professional Software Engineering position?
