Make using OSS as easy as “Add Reference”

Make using software as easy as “Add Reference”

How do we do that?

BUILD UP THE DEVELOPERECOSYSTEM

Adding a library to a project

What is the experience to add an existing 3rd Party or open source library to a project today?Let’s take a look

Like all good stories, it

starts with a Google search

Like all good stories, it

starts with a Bing

search

So far so good in this case.

This looks right

?Turns out, this is the right one.

Looks right to me,

I guess.

Before we extract it, we need to visit

the Properties

Don’t forget this!

Extract assemblies to a folder within

the solution directory

Need to add the correct

configuration to web.config

Finally! It works!

that‘s for a single assembly!

What Happens When I’m Ready For Build V2?

we can do much better!

Our NuGet Agenda

Basics: What it can doMaking Packages & PublishingCommand-line vs. UIExamples from Simple to Advanced

Conventions, Transforms and Preprocessing, PowerShell

NuGet Servers of all SizesNuGet and Source ControlNuGet and Continuous Integration Extreme Examples

What about big boring companies?

What problem are we trying to solve?

Sharing business level components among teams.Sharing best practices among teams.Build productivity helpers on top of existing Out of the Box, Open Source or 3rd party tools and libraries.Setup configuration that is specific to the enterprise environment.

How is this solved today

File shares with folders full of assemblies or downloaded 3rd party installers.Tribal knowledgeSparse documentation in wikis or email threads.Pulled from existing source code trees within the company.

How does NuGet help?

Provides a central location to store this knowledge, in the form of code, assemblies, configuration, and automation scripts.Provides concrete solutions rather than guidance, policies, or abstract standards.

Continuous Integration

Create a second Repository for CI builds.Automate the NuGet Package creation from your CI builds to publish to the CI RepositoryAutomatically increment your version numbers in your assemblies and NuGets
