Since I'm starting at Avanade on Monday, I've been doing some reading and watching to prepare myself a little for the job. Namely, I've been watching all the Enterprise Library webcasts.

• Enterprise Library Overview
• Enterprise Library Configuration Application Block
• Enterprise Library Data Access Application Block
• Enterprise Library Caching Application Block
• Enterprise Library Logging and Instrumentation Application Block
• Dennis Mulder's EntLib Slide Deck (w/ ACA.Net info) [via Baz]

I also wanted to make sure I find time in the near future to read and watch:

• WebParts: From SharePoint to ASP.NET 2.0 [via Jan]
• Best Practices for Developing and Deploying Web Parts
• The .Net Show: SQL Server 2005
• Indigo CTP docs [via Don Box]
• Enterprise Library Exception Handling Application Block [Mar 17]
• Enterprise Library Cryptography Application Block [Mar 22]
• Enterprise Library Security Application Block [Mar 24]
• Enterprise Library Building Your Own Application Block [Mar 28]
• Enterprise Library Applied [Mar 31]

So this is a reminder for myself so that I can find all these later on...

Update: There are also hands-on labs for that go with the Enterprise Library webcasts here [via Scott Densmore]. After watching the Logging Application Block webcast I decided to add it into an existing application so that some of the other developers could get emails when the processed failed. It took me about five minutes to add it. Watching the webcast made the job easy for me.
