  • Enterprise Library. Enterprise Library is a collection of application blocks that address common cross-cutting concerns that developers face when developing applications. The latest version of Enterprise Library (version 6) was released in April 2013 and includes two new application blocks (Semantic Logging Application Block and Transient Fault Handling Application Block) and many improvements.

The Enterprise Library 5.0 Integration Pack for Windows Azure is a collection of reusable application blocks that address common cross-cutting concerns in enterprise software development. The Microsoft Enterprise Library Integration Pack for Windows Azure is an extension to Microsoft Enterprise Library 5.0 that can be used with the Windows Azure technology platform. It includes the Autoscaling Application Block, Transient Fault Handling Application Block, blob configuration source, protected configuration provider, and learning materials.

  • Unity. Unity is a lightweight and extensible dependency injection container with support for interception. We recently released Unity 3.0 (also part of the latest version of Enterprise Library) which added a number of key features, including registration by convention and support for Windows Store apps. Unity provides a mature and stable foundation for building high-quality, flexible, pattern-based libraries and reference implementations. It facilitates loosely-coupled design and help improve testability.
  • Parallel Programming with Microsoft .NET This book describes patterns for parallel programming, with code examples, that use the new parallel programming support in the Microsoft® .NET Framework 4. This support is commonly referred to as the Parallel Extensions. You can use the patterns described in this book to improve your application's performance on multicore computers. Adopting the patterns in your code makes your application run faster today and also helps prepare for future hardware environments, which are expected to have an increasingly parallel computing architecture
  • Parallel Programming with Microsoft Visual C++ This book describes patterns for parallel programming, with code examples, that use the parallel programming support in the Microsoft® Visual C++. The Parallel Patterns Library (PPL) and the Asynchronous Agents Library introduce a new programming model for parallelism that significantly simplifies the job. Behind the scenes are sophisticated algorithms that dynamically distribute computations on multicore architectures. In addition, Microsoft® Visual Studio® 2010 development system includes debugging and analysis tools to support the new parallel programming model. You can use the patterns described in this book to improve your application's performance on multicore computers. Adopting the patterns in your code makes your application run faster today and also helps prepare for future hardware environments, which are expected to have an increasingly parallel computing architecture
  • CQRS Journey. This guidance is designed to help you get started with the Command & Query Responsibility Segregation and the Event Sourcing patterns. The guide is a journal that describes the experiences of a development team with no prior CQRS proficiency in building, deploying (to Windows Azure), and maintaining a sample real-world complex enterprise system to showcase various CQRS and ES concepts and techniques.
  • A Guide to Claims–based Identity and Access Control, 2nd Edition. This guide gives you enough information to evaluate claims-based identity as a possible option when you're planning a new application or making changes to an existing one. It is intended for any architect, developer, or information technology (IT) professional who designs, builds, or operates Web applications and services that require identity information about their users.
  • Testing for Continuous Delivery with Visual Studio 2012. This guide provides an end-to-end walkthrough of the testing scenarios supported by the Visual Studio 2012 infrastructure. It will help testers and developers use Team Foundation Server effectively as an application lifecycle management solution for testing and supporting products.
  • Microsoft Application Architecture Guide, 2nd Edition. This guide provides design-level guidance for the architecture and design of applications built on the .NET Framework.
  • Performance Testing Guidance for Web Applications. This guide shows you an end-to-end approach for implementing performance testing for your Web applications.
