Microsoft Patterns and Practices has released some Hands-on Labs for Enterprise Library 4.1.

This set of Hands-on Labs is a guide to learn about the application blocks included with Enterprise Library 4.1 and to leverage their capabilities in various application contexts. It includes Caching, Cryptography, Data Access, Exception Handling, Interception, Logging, Security, Validation, and Unity Hands-on Labs.
