Developer's Guide to Microsoft Enterprise Library
Welcome to the era of software reuse! Microsoft Enterprise Library helps accelerate development by providing reusable components and guidance on proven practices. This guide helps you to quickly grasp what Enterprise Library v6 can do for you, presents examples that show it in action, and makes it easier for you to start experimenting with Enterprise Library.
Enterprise Library is made up of a series of application blocks, each aimed at managing specific crosscutting concerns. You can use them out of the box, modify them as required, and distribute them with your applications. The main themes for the latest v6 release are: simplifying the library all around, embracing semantic logging, increasing resiliency to errors, and streamlining programmatic configuration of all blocks.
The guide explains the concepts that drove development of the blocks, the kinds of tasks they can accomplish, and how they help you implement many well-known design patterns. And, of course, it explains — by way of code extracts and sample programs — how you can actually use the blocks in your applications. Benefit from the capabilities of Enterprise Library, spend more time focusing on your business logic and less on the plumbing. Enterprise Library will do the heavy lifting for you! Happy Coding!
“This guide is an absolute must read for anybody looking to put Enterprise Library into practice. Its clear and pragmatic advice is invaluable.”
S. Somasegar, Corporate Vice President, Microsoft Developer Division
“You are holding in your hands a book that will make your life as an enterprise developer a whole lot easier.”

A really good introduction to the MS Enterprise Library. I started to read this because I was interested in specific modules in the library, but ended up learning about a whole host of things I can use.
It's available for free from Microsoft: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn440724(v=pandp.60).aspx
It took me a long time to finish (although it's really short) because I no longer work at the job where I was making all the decisions about application implementation. Once I no longer got to pick, I put the book down (as I knew I wouldn't be able to use any of the things I'd learned just yet).
