I'm looking for online reference / book recommendations, video tutorials, etc...
I've been programming for a while now (Java / Shell), so I don't need a book that spends a lot of effort on basic programming concepts.
All I need is a jump start and some good reference material to clear off my doubts before I start asking more substantial questions on stackoverflow

I would suggest Adam Nathan's 101 Windows Phone 7 Apps. This is volume 1 and it deals with writing fully functional apps that you can post on marketplace, as well as explaining key concepts of WP7 programming. I am reading this book at the moment and have to say that I am quite happy that I purchased it.
EDIT: One more suggestion would be to come up with some project, nothing too complex but at the same time nothing too simple and jump into fire head first. You will surely learn a lot if you have a vision for a project. It will drive your forward to succeed.

"Programming Windows Phone 7" by Charles Petzold is worth a look.
