What will happen to the .NET development communities?
.Net programmers will start cohabitating and form a mutual support network. Because of the stigma attached to clinging to old proven technologies, they will be forced into a lifestyle described as "archaic", where their mud huts have no electricity or running water, and they won't be able to get cell phone coverage. They'll be forced to grow their own food and hunt illegally, and use cash for any day-to-day puyrchases. Eventually, the US governbment will notice that they hunt and grow their own food, and use cash, andwill immediately label them as a potential terrorist organisation. Nish will also write a book about how .Net and Silverlight were okay "in their day", but that HTML5 and javascript will be the technology of the future. Of course, not being one to jump immediately on "technologies of the future", I'll probably be using .Net and Silverlight for the next 10 years or so. By then, Nish will have written another book about the discovery of remains of an ancient .Net programmer encampment in the wilds of southern Canadia.

I heard/read that SilverLight has no future and .NET as a whole is loosing its importance in Windows8. What will happen to the .NET development communities? what is the next skill to learn?

It depends of what skill set you already have. If you’re asking for technologies/languages that are not going to die any time soon and are widely used, here are a couple: C++/COM, Transact/PL SQL

No. The speed of the signals in the nerves probably was too slow for those large animals. Even coordinating the information that it is about to walk someplace with the rear legs required some extraordinary adaptations. When mortally wounded, a dinosaur probably went on without noticing until it could not go on anymore and dropped dead.

And it came worse.Like the proverbial chickens it turns out they're related to? Seriously, when there's a headless dinosaur running around, time to take cover.

Some dinosaurs were very large and assuming that their nerves were as as efficient as the nerve cells of most other animals and that they also shared the same anatomical patterns with other still existing animals, raises many questions how animals of such size were actually able to function. The length of the nerves and the time which the signals would need to reach their destinations are already problematic. How could they coordinate a single footstep with the brain sitting at the end of an endless neck and the rear legs still further away? How did they process the feedback from their legs with such significant delays? Here[^] you have just one randomly picked item I found.
