The last couple of weeks I have been asked by a couple of enterprise customers and partners what the short and long term roadmap is for enterprise library. Some of them are actively building a standardized library for reuse in their applications. The good news is that next Thursday October 20 Ron Jacobs, product manager for the patterns & practices group, will be doing a webcast on the futures of Enterpise Library 2.0.
Summary: Enterprise Library for Microsoft .NET 1.x has been a smashing success with two releases and over 150K downloads. The June 2005 release is compatible with Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0, but many of you are eagerly awaiting this next release of Enterprise Library which is specifically designed for .NET 2.0. In this webcast, we discuss how Enterprise Library has evolved to a true .NET 2.0 library.
Note that this webcast will also be made available for on-demand viewing approximately 24 hours after the live session is complete.
