There’s a lot of material to go through here. I think this is a great start to pursuing three different MCPDs: Windows Phone, Windows Azure, and SharePoint. There are training kits available for each of those as well, so here are the links to each: Windows Phone, Windows Azure, SharePoint, and SharePoint and Windows Azure. The Windows Phone 7 and SharePoint 2010 training kit brings it all together so you can create private Windows Phone apps for your company, or cloud-enabled apps for the masses.
