If you're a Windows Phone developer and need to login to your Developer Portal, this guide will show you how!
What is the Windows Phone Developer Portal?

How to create a new project
If you're new to developing for Windows Phone, or just need a refresher on how everything works, the Windows Phone Developer Portal is a great place to start.
To create a new project, first log in using your account credentials. If you don't have an account, you can create one here. Once you're logged in, select New Project from the top menu.
The first step is to choose a template. There are many options available, including a simple Blank App project or a more complicated Universal Windows Platform (UWP) project with XAML and C# code. If you're just starting out, we recommend the Blank App template.
Next, specify your project name and location. You can also choose to create a dedicated project for your Windows Phone app or use an existing solution file. Click Next to continue.
Now it's time to set up your development environment. The first step is to add the Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 Tools for Windows 10 (Windows 10 SDK) and the Microsoft .NET Framework 4 development tools to your computer. If you don't have them already installed, you can download them from Visual Studio Marketplace or the Microsoft Download Center (see Resources).
