What you'll learn
This course is a basic introduction to NuGet. NuGet is a library and file dependency manager that is integrated into Visual Studio. With NuGet, you can wrap any kind of file (EXE's, DLL's, js/html/css files, source code, etc.) in a NuGet Package. In addition to contained files, a NuGet Package contains meta-data that describes what your files do as well as any dependencies that may exist with other NuGet Packages.
