I'm going to get a WP7 silverlight project at work, and I'd like to ask you guys what documentation do you recommend to somebody who's willing to write silverlight apps for WP7 but who's never touched silverlight itself before.

I maintain a list of Windows Phone 7 developer resources in this page. You can start by watching the "Windows Phone 7 in 7 minutes" videos and continue with the Windows Phone 7 training kit.

Have you checked out the Windows Phone 7 developer training kit? At the very least it is a good collection of sample projects that would be worth looking at if you're just starting out :)

In addition to the links others have added about resources for learing Silverlight.

Please also check out the answers to the following, very similar, questions:

Also, Tim Heuer's blog is filled with great Silverlight tutorials and info:
