Thanks for the tips.

The enterprise library is not a “normal” ms application, such as Visual Studio or Sharepoint. It is a library for use within applications. And as such does not attract quite the same attention as the commercial packages nor the same publishing buzz. Nor does it particularly deal with buzzword-worthy, web 2.0 phenomenon such as ajax–so no pre-release book craze like Atlas has seen.

Still, I did stumble upon two books (a and b). I have not read either so I cannot make a recommendation either way.

I would recommend checking out the Library’s bundled documentation which actually goes a long way into explaining its internals. In addition, I would work through the quickstarts and labs to get your head around things. There is also the GotDotNet Patterns & Practices workspace which tends to be the bleeding edge of things.

I should note I have never been a “read a book” but rather a “just sit down and code” type of learner.

Hope this helps.

Do you know of or heard of any books explaining the workings and application of EL 2006 will be available, normally there is a truck load of authors that publish before major MS releases, but I can not find any that are out there yet.

Cheers
