I am scheduled to share on NuGet (
http://nuget.codeplex.com/) at the Deerfield Beach Coder’s Café on March 1
st, 2011. My goal for this talk is to present demos and content covering how to leverage this new neat utility to easily “package” .Net-based binaries or tools and share them with others, who in-turn, can just as easy reference and readily use that same package in their Visual Studio 2010 .Net projects.
For hosting a local NuGet package repository, Jon Galloway has a nice article update with a complete PowerShell script to simplify downloading the default feed packages which can be accessed
here.
The following is a brief abstract of the talk:
NuGet (formerly known as NuPack) is a free, open source developer focused package management system for the .NET platform intent on simplifying the process of incorporating third party libraries into a .NET application during development. NuGet is a member of the ASP.NET Gallery in the Outercurve Foundation. In this session we will:
- Discuss the concept, vision and goal behind NuGet
- See NuGet in action within an ASP.Net MVC project
- Look at the NuGet integration in Microsoft WebMatrix
- Create a NuGet package for our demo library
- Explore the NuGet Project site
- Configure a NuGet package feed for a local network
- Solicit attendees input and feedback on the tool
Look forward to meeting you all there.
