NuGet: Add Reference, Awesome

There’s an Open Source package manager for .NET available now called NuGet. It’s supported and shipping with ASP.NET MVC 3, but it’s not just for ASP.NET. In fact, it’s not just for open source. Join Matthew as we learn all about NuGet, from the basics of consuming packages, to creating and distributing your own packages both internally on your own server and externally on NuGet.org. Then we’ll learn some advanced techniques like preinstalling NuGet packages into your own project templates and how NuGet can be extended and enhanced to write your code for you. We’ll see how using NuGet with your project makes development fun again!

Trying to decide on what ASP.NET framework (ASP.NET MVC, Web Forms, Web Pages) is right for your new project, or maybe you already have an existing investment in one of the ASP.NET frameworks and feel that you can use the others? The good news is that the different frameworks all snap and fit snuggly together just like your favorite childhood building blocks. We’ll look at how you can benefit from mixing and matching these pieces for the different parts of your project. Come learn how easy it is to choose the right framework for the right job and make them all seamlessly fit together.
