title: Xbox Application Development using C# and Visual Studio
body: <p>I have been investigating into application (not games) development on Xbox but i could not find any help or tutorial which i could use as a starting point for my project like a basic template.</p>
  
  <p>I have an Xbox Live Account which i know is needed for app submission.</p>
  
  <p>I have gone through alot of links like <a href="http://xbox.create.msdn.com/en-us/home/getting_started" rel="nofollow">this</a></p>
  
  <p>But it doesnt provide help on following points like :</p>
  
  <p>1.Which IDE to use (does VS 2012 for Windows Phone or for Windows 8 work?)</p>
  
  <p>2.is C# the language to use(i would prefer to use this)</p>
  
  <p>3.Any basic starter app/template (with newest SDK, as i have seen a few samples they fail to load)</p>
  
  <p>Any help would be largely appreciated</p>
