'Tis that time of the year again when Microsoft patterns & practices is gearing up for development on the next release of Enterprise Library, Enterprise Library 5.0, and asking for your input.
Do you want to see new application blocks, bug fixes, new application block providers? Currently there are the following application blocks:
- Data Access Application Block
- Logging Application Block
- Validation Application Block
- Security Application Block
- Caching Application Block
- Exception Handling Application Block
- Cryptography Application Block
- Policy Injection Application Block
- Unity Application Block
Any of those application blocks not work as expected and/or do not integrate with particular technologies of interest? Perhaps one of the application blocks needs more functionality or you have an idea for a new application block?
Now is the time to get your voices heard as this time only comes around once a year and the year can feel like a very long time ;) You have a $100 to spend on how you want patterns & practices to focus their time on Enterprise Library 5.0 so think about your priorities and leave a comment on Grigori's blog here.
As an FYI, I am doing a talk in February on Enterprise Library and the Unity Application Block at the South Florida Code Camp:
I will also be tentatively giving the same talk in Ft. Myers, Florida as soon as we get a date.
