I remember it all too well. I was a WPF contractor in early 2011 and Silverlight was the one of the best paying skills so it was the thing to learn until the confusion of that announcement. I got a short Silverlight role at the end of 2011 but after that things dried up totally just as I was hoping to buy a home when they were affordable. I mistakenly stuck with .Net and ended up going to back end data work before returning to the web side as I had begun years before. Things are good on the web and cloud side but I stick see Xaml as too risky to go back to now, even with Xamarin.
