Next Thursday, December 2nd, Rudi Larno and myself will do a "Sneak Preview of Enterprise Library" at the MSDN Belux Event "Unleashing the Potential of the Microsoft Platform". Registration and complete agenda for the event can be found here.
Some of the topics that we'll cover:
- Why Enterprise Library?
- Introducing Enterprise Library: Consistency - Extensibility - Ease Of Use - Integration
- Application Blocks Overview
- Using the Enterprise Library: demo of some of the application blocks
Enterprise Library is a set of reusable software components designed to assist developers with common enterprise development challenges. Enterprise Library brings together new releases of the most widely used application blocks into a single integrated download.
See you there!
