The Creamy Goodness of NuGet
NuGet has quickly become one of my favorite extensions for Visual Studio. Not only has it made it easy to add commonly used OSS libraries to your projects it has made them discoverable.
About NuGet: NuGet 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.
There are a large number of useful 3rd party open source libraries out there for the .NET platform, but for those not familiar with the OSS ecosystem, it can be a pain to pull these libraries into a project. NuGet automates most of this and makes it easy to add libraries for common task.
Here is what you will learn:
What is NuGet?
- How to add packages to your project
- How to update packages in your project
- How to host your own package repository
- How to create and publish your own packages
Community Leadership Town Hall – Tulsa Techfest
October 6th, 2011 6 – 10 PM – OSU Room NH150
We had a great turnout at last years Town Hall and this year we are doing it again. There was a lot of great participation and discussion regarding common issues we all experience as community leaders. This is a great forum for getting input from other community leaders.
What is a Community Leadership Town Hall?
In many towns and cities across the country the town hall is the center of the community. The town hall is where the local governments keep offices, serves as the main base for the Mayor, and is where citizens of the community come to work with the official representatives to share issues, ideas, and solutions that can make their community better.
The Community Leadership Town Hall brings this concept to community leaders in your area. The evening will be filled with discussions about issues, ideas, and solutions regarding creating, maintaining, and growing user groups and technical communities. This will be a highly interactive night where everyone will have a chance to suggest a topic and voice their opinion.
Bring your questions, ideas, issues, and willingness to share to the Houston Community Leadership Town Hall.
This is a free event! Please join us.
