Can anyone suggest some good books that practically describe Silverlight and WCF?
If you're looking for info of how to use SL for business apps (WCF RIA services...) this one is a good one
Wcf stuff:
Good and easy books/tutorials to learn WCF latest stuff
The Microsoft Silverlight 4 Data and Services Cookbook might be just what you need.

I'd like to know if someone had any experience using angularjs in asp.net webforms project. I understand that it is probably an overkill considering webforms ecosystem, but still... have you ever tried it ? Is it the worst idea ever ? If possible, would you use angularjs in new (webforms) project, and would you introduce it in an existing, medium size, project ?

I'd like to convert my Windows Phone app to a silverlight web app, while keeping most of the code intact (so I don't have to maintain 2 different code bases). I've never built a Silverlight website before so I'd like to get some advise on how I should go about doing this.
Thanks!
Use the MVVM pattern and have device specific views. Take a look at MVVM light wich is a good framework for MVVM.

With windows 8 demonstrating 'native HTML 5 apps'.
The first thing that I think of is whether WPF has a place in this HTML 5 world. It kind of seems like Silverlight will stick around but I must ask : Where does WPF fit into the bigger picture microsoft is painting ?
All that's been said is that this (and where Silverlight , XNA, and C++ fit in) will be announced at the BUILD conference in September. Lots of rumors and speculation, but no announcements.
It's too early to tell. Just because Microsoft demoed a particular feature doesn't mean it's dropping everything else.

It seems to be that Silverlight is rarely mentioned or seen anywhere on the net these days. Even DotNetRocks rarely give any serious time to discussing this technology other than saying they "love" it.
Silverlight seems to be shifting to a development platform for Microsoft's other products. It currently is a major part of Windows Phone 7, and is rumored to be coming to the XBox360.

This can be community wiki.
I'm looking for a simple, multi-platform, free database browser (ODBC,etc). This is for those times when I want to interface with a database, and just need a simple way to quickly see what the heck is in it. Doesn't need to support any vendor-specific features.
Too much junk out there and I don't want to play with these things all day. What do you use?
I like SqlDbx - the personal edition is free. It supports most of the major databases, and the built in intellisense is useful for queries.
Dbvisualizer has a free version http://www.dbvis.com/products/dbvis/download/
