How do I start using Enterprise Library? - enterprise-library

Please help me start using Enterprise Library for the first time. I am completely new to it but have used ADO.NET so far.

Start with the Developer's Guide and progress onto the Hands-on Labs.

Jubula Functional Testing Tool toolkit?

I am new to Jubula.Struggling hard to understand the flow of Jubula.
1)can anyone tell me what is the difference between jubula's toolkits (RCP,SWING,SWT,javafx)??
These are the user interface technologies supported by it; your AUT needs to be written using one of these technologies in order to be able to test it with Jubula.
They are all bundled with the default installation and you can choose between them when creating a new project.

How to create a controller and display in browser in zend?

i am new in zend framework. Please help me to create controller and how navigate in browser.
Not the best question, because it shows you haven't searched much. Let's search together:
framework.zend.com
StackOverflow
StackOverflow again
StackOverflow 3
So either search better or please try to explain your need with more details and show what you have already done.
Yeah, this is pretty vague.
I'm assuming that you have some experience with computers, computer programming, the Linux operating system, and developing for the web. Object oriented programming principles, as well as some awareness of php itself are also going to be very helpful.
Do you have an environment to work from? A webserver that's capable of running php? You'll need that, as a bare minimum first. Luckily we live in the days when it's easy to set up virtual environments for that. Try puphpet. It's awesome. While you're at it, make sure you get MySQL, as you'll need it for many of the tutorials provided by Zend (and others).

Have you downloaded the framework?
If you use the zf tool to create a project, as described in the link below, you'll have a basic application that includes a Controller and that you should be able to browse to.

That should be enough to get you going.

Good open source or good community edition ETL tool

I was working previously on No-Sql like MongoDB. Now I want to switch to ETL process, for that I was searching ETL tools which integrate to MongoDB, Hadoop and that tool should be having good community edition or open source because of initially I want to learn ETL so currently not possible to buy the Enterprise Edition, so any one knows which one is good ETL tool which satisfied my requirement.
One of the best is definitely Talend Open Studio for Big Data. But it requires a lot of hacking for effective work (you may need to implement your own components or inject custom Java-code to get the desired result).
I think Kettle is one of the most popular (at least from what I have noticed).
Kettle
It has a lot of features and is "fairly" user friendly.
Check out StreamSets Data Collector. It has a modern web based interface and a growing community. It's Apache 2.0 licensed. Supports much of the Hadoop ecosystem and mongodb out of the box.
Full disclosure: I'm a committer on this project.

How the connection is managed by data access application block in Enterprise library?

I am new to entlib. I want to know how the connection state is managed by entlib, if I want to create a project which can be accessed by thousands of users is entlib data access application block better to use? Does it manage opening of closing of connections by itself?
Please explain me in detail...
I'm afraid this is not really the place for detail, however there is a free ebook called "Developer's guide to Microsoft Enterprise Library 5" which has plenty of detail. If you need more you can also download and examine the code for the whole library.
The main advantage of enterprise library is that it's easy to use, and does a lot of things you would otherwise have to re-implement in your code. Enterprise Library is part of Patterns and practices section in MSDN and implements well thought out and reviewed methods of carrying out common tasks.
Enterprise library helps to resolve ADO.NET issues, such as deciding how your code should call the close method, by automatically managing connections as far as reasonably possible.

Terrarium-like agent interaction framework

I'm looking for a framework for agent interaction simulation, where I can deploy some agents and let them interact and watch their evolution.
Until now I found Terrarium 2.0 (http://terrarium2.codeplex.com/). In principle this is what I need: the ability to create some creature/agent and deploy it into a simulation framework where it will interact with other agents. But it seems that Terrarium is no longer under development.
Do you know of any similar frameworks which are worth considering?
Thanks.
I'd like to see Terrarium for VS 2010 myself. It's not under development anymore, but the source is released and is still functional. So I guess it can be updated and expanded if anyone has the time, I would if I had :) The public server is still online, but there are no peers online. Don't know of any similar frameworks, for .Net at least.
