Of course, there is the UX Design Guidelines for Windows Phone, but it, obviously, miss tips for the window header design and behavior.
I suppose MS is not interested in Metro apps on classic desktop, but may be some one else (hello, Metrotwit team ;) ) wrote something interesting?

You could use the documentation of the Windows 8 Metro apps that is slowly appearing.
When looking at Zune etc. they decided to get rid of the standard chrome/borders and implemented their own.
The problem is that the desktop still requires a minimize/maximize, title while these do not exist on Metro.
My advise copy the ideas from Zune and others. I do not expect any official guidance on this soon.

Metro is also for Windows 8. Take a look at

And then have a look at Architecture building with GWT
Finally with Remote procedure calls (hitting backend).

I would like to know what would be the best programming languages to develop an open source that can work on mainly windows and mac.
any person should be able to change the source code if he/she wanted to without the need to recompile it. this is to allow further development and bug fixing.
The application does not require a massive computational resources and it would have a GUI.
what would you recommend?
the only thing i have in mind is to do the application using matLab. any other choice?
Many thanks for your feedback,
Python. There are many IDEs available, and the code is extremely readable. The community also maintains excellent documentation. I would advise against using Matlab to develop Open Source Software because Matlab itself is not an open source program. Maybe since you are talking about something mathematical, an open source alternative could be Octave? But I don’t really know what you mean by an application. Hope anything I suggested helped.

I have a lot of time with only an iPhone to entertain me. Is there a way to writte programs on this thing? Any language, as long as the programs will run either directly in the browser or in an app.
Note: I said on the iPhone, not for the iPhone.
From my guess you want to do programming on your iPhone. You can easily do this by remote desktop'ing into a computer at home (or anywhere) with your iPhone.
You can use Logmein for this. Though I will tell you, it's a little tricky with the on screen keyboard. Then you can pick any language, or any development tools your computer has.
This would be how I would do it (though I'd try to purchase a physical keyboard)

I saw some frameworks and wanted to know which one is the best.
Raw PHP, .net, Java...? Another?
I would answer this question with another question:
Which is the language or framework
you are more comfortable with?
But if that does not answer your question, and you prefer to try some other language/framework to develop Facebook apps, I believe the best you can do is take a look at the Facebook developer site and check which SDK they offer.
You're going to get a lot of different answers here. Depending on what people prefer to use, they'll say it's the best.As long as you can get what you want done, go with what you know.

Are there any experienced developers to make a comparison between these two SDKs?
What have better learning curve for beginners? Is the deployment for many platforms easy the same in both? Any others sugestions about difference unvisible in the first contact working with these SDKs?
I have not used MoSync, but I have made several games with Airplay SDK, for iPhone, Android, and bada. It's a very solid system with very good community support when you have questions. You need to know C (and a bit of C++ but mostly it's just C), but otherwise it's very easy to use. You can use a 3D API or a 2D API. They include lots of good examples. They have good profiling tools. It's great for people who like Visual Studio, with all the debugging advantages of that system. You can definitely make games for multiple platforms all from the comfort of your PC (or Mac, but I haven't tried the Mac version). I have a bit more about my experiences with it at www.immortalcode.com.
