>Obviously I did not read Hank's link closely enough the first time. I did not catch who Scott Barnes was.If a former Silverlight product manager says Silverlight and WPF are doomed within Microsoft, I have to acknowledge it's at least a possibility. Just what I need as an aspiring .NET developer. The thing is so huge and constantly changing it's enough of a challenge to begin with. I don't want to have to worry about Microsoft junking core components over internal politics. Who wants to invest time learning something that may be killed off? As it happens I have a Silverlight book on order from Amazon.

If you have clearly separated tiers, you don't have to fear the sky is falling... And even if the sky is falling, that might be interesting [veg]
