Enterprise Library Webcast Series

Wow - Putting together a webcast series is a lot of work. I just finished the slides for configuration and data acess and I think you are really going to like what you see. I hope you will join us for the webcasts. 

 

The podcasts are really doing well. So far I have had many positive comments about the interview I did with Scott Densmore about configuration contexts. Check out my podcast page at https://www.ronjacobs.com/podcast/podcasts.htm and listen in.
