what is cutting-edge technologies

It would be super huge news if Mono for iPhone or for Android were to be dropped.  For the moment this is what most of the Monodroid developers are saying. Yes, the news is very quiet at the moment, but the feeling is that we will get some news soon. It is unlikely this is anything more than a temporary setback.

It appears that AttachMate have shut down Mono (http://www.zdnet.com/blog/open-source/is-mono-dead-is-novell-dying/8821).

So, I'd avoid two cutting-edge technologies - Mono for iPhone and Android - until we know for sure what's happening.

A great pity if the reports are correct :(

Many people consider Windows Forms to be old technology, but Windows Forms work the way that Windows works more than WPF and Silverlight. So until Microsoft develops a new operating system, Windows Forms will continue to be current. Microsoft however is not likely to abandon Silverlight too quickly.

That however is fundamental to the definition of cutting-edge technologies; when we blaze a trail or follow behind a trailblazer, we might be taken someplace we don't want to go. That is the risk of cutting-edge technologies.

I agree. Azure seems to have better future than Silverlight. Silverlight is still shaky.

I don't know enough about SharePoint or Azure to provide advice about them.

In addition to Silverlight, there are related areas that are vast and worth learning, such as communication (WCF) and database.

Also, employers will likely appreciate an ability to do analysis and design. There is a lot to learn about that.

thanks Mahesh...
Please reply, which technology I should learn now. Still I'm experimenting with Silverlight but after this which technology I should choose: either SharePoint or Azure (Cloud). I know both technologies are different tree. Guys please reply this from your point of view. Sam you must reply.

The phrase or term "cutting-edge" is like the phrase or term "trail-blazer". A trail-blazer makes trails; cuts plants and decides where the trail should be. Trails also need to be fortified so the ground does not slip and such, but a trail-blazer would probably leave that for others to do. In a knife, the cutting-edge is the part that cuts; it does the real work and everything else has secondary importance. I think cutting-edge is supposed to mean essentailly the same thing as trail-blazer but I think it is not the best term. I think people say cutting-edge because it sounds cool. Another way to look at cutting-edge is to say that the cutting-edge is the first part of the knife that starts the cut.
