Enterprise Library Release To Web
[Via Patrick & Scott] Enterprise Library will be released January 28th. More information can be found on this GotDotNet Workspace. It seems that a lot of people are waiting to get their hands on and start using it on projects.
Enterprise Library is a major new release of the patterns & practices Application Blocks. This guidance is designed to assist developers with common enterprise development challenges. Enterprise Library 1.0 will include blocks for Data Access, Exception Handling, Caching, Configuration, Logging & Instrumentation, Security and Cryptography, in a single integrated download. The Library will feature improved consistency, extensibility, integration and ease of use, and will include a GUI-based configuration editing tool, generally eliminating the need to hand-edit XML configuration files for the blocks. This workspace provides a forum for the community to discuss Enterprise Library, review prerelease materials and provide suggestions for upcoming versions.
[Updated] More detailed information on EntLib is available in the February 2005 edition of the Patterns & Practices Digest. PDF Download.
