The September 2008 MSDN Magazine has an article on Prism / Composite Application Guidance for WPF. A lot of the Composite Application Guidance on design patterns and concepts discussed in the article is taken from the Composite Application Guidance for WPF Documentation. However, if you want a quick overview of Prism on building composite WPF applications you may want to read the article.
If you haven't read the documentation, which is a separate download from the guidance, I highly recommend readinging it to learn design patterns and concepts that can make you a better .NET developer:
The MSDN Article touches upon some concepts discussed in detail in the Prism documentation, such as Dependency Injection, Inversion of Control, Service Locator, Separated Presentation, Supervising Controller, and Presentation Model as well as concepts related to composite applications like UI Composition, Modularity, and Containers.
The MSDN Article and the WPF Documentation mention concepts and terminology related to Prism, such as: Bootstrapper, Container and Services, Module, Region, Shell and View, Event Aggregator, Commands, and Communication between the pieces.
