what’s my goal here?

Make using OSS as easy

as “Add Reference”

how do we do that?

BUILD UP THE DEVELOPER ECOSYSTEM

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!
