The Definitive Guide to the Microsoft Enterprise Library

By Keenan Newton

Book Overview

This is the first book to introduce all ten of the enterprise application blocks, which have been recently updated for .NET 2.0. It introduces one of the most exciting and popular .NET-oriented initiatives; the Enterprise Application Library, which offers nine classes of reusable code used to solve a variety of common problem spaces. With this book readers will be able to build .NET applications faster and more efficiently by taking advantage of readily available code developed and released by Microsoft's Patterns and Practices group (http: //msdn.microsoft.com/practices/). It covers a number of topics, including configuration, data access, exception management, caching, application updates, UI separation, asynchronous invocation, logging, security, and XML-based information aggregation.

Customer Reviews

Truly the definitive guide!

If you are wanting to utilize the Microsoft Enterprise Library in your organization, this is the book you need. I have found it to be extremely useful - walking me through each application block clearly. The sample code is very useful and I have been able to get up to speed very quickly. Much more quickly than if I tried to navigate the offical Enterprise Library documentation. If you are a developer with some basic experience in .NET - this book will be very useful. If you are new to development or are at a junior level - this book may be a bit much for you - similar to the other reviewer that gave this book a single star. Good reading!
