I have 8+ years of development experience in asp.net/sql primarily, some WPF/win form. I am wondering what's your opinion if you have next serveral months to focus on some technology?
A few things in mind as below with my order of preferrence  what's your thought?
MVC
WCF
Mobile development - iOS and Android
Application/Solution Architecture
Thanks!

Do you know linq? It's worth some time for sure.
Personally, I think wcf before MVC.

Agreed!
var itemToLearn = DotNetTechnologies
.Where(o => !o.IsKnown)
.OrderByDescending(o => o.Usefullness)
.ThenByDescending(o => o.Awesomeness)
.First();
Assert(itemToLearn == Linq);

CListCtrl is always handy...as is LiquidNitrogen.

More specifically, "reading perl syntax". 6 months is too short to learn "perl".

Herself picked it up a lot quicker than that: "Knit one, perl one. Knit one..."

I hate how much I love working in perl. It's no C++, and I wouldn't recommend it aside from being flip. But damn it sure does make hard stuff trivial.

Any Javascript libraries like Angular, Knockout, etc.,

base on your given list, MVC and WCF, I guess.

I've been working with ASP.NET MVC for a few years and it's definitely a step up from WebForms.
I'd agree with what another poster said here though: look into JS frameworks like Knockout (my preference) or AngularJS. Microsoft's Web API is also pretty good for AJAX applications.
I'm placing a bet on Apple's Swift language becoming very popular too, go planning to get (what's left of) my teeth stuck into that sometime soon.
I think mobile development kind of goes hand-in-hand with web development in a lot of ways.

I used to enjoy surfing, with real water and waves and sand. You could get some skill in that in a few months.
And it's more interesting that doing .NET stuff.

Learn what you have a chance of using.
If you’re not going to use something you will forget it as fast as you learnt it.
All round good guy.

Definitelly MVC. You can learn some side technologies along with it, like LINQ and WCF.
But really go with MVC, you have no idea of how takes the pain out of web development like in WebForms.

The bar has been set.

I'd focus on something that fits with what you already know so that you can be more versatile. Of your list, mobile probably fits that best.
We can program with only 1's, but if all you've got are zeros, you've got nothing.

Are you interested in anything from the past?
For instance, in the past, I've been curious to learn F# just to see what the excitement is all about.
