This project serves as a demonstration of using Squirrel as an update framework for a .NET desktop application. Although this particular project is a console application, the same pattern can be generalized to apply to other .NET project types -- WPF, ASP.NET, etc.

The project is a self-hosted web server. When built and run, it will service the following endpoint GET http://localhost:8080/api/test and return a 200 HTTP status and hello message.

The following shows how to build a Squirrel package in which you would distribute:

1. Build the solution
2. Create a nuget package according to the nuspec: nuget pack .\HelloWorld.nuspec -version <your-version-here>
3. Based on the nuget package, create the Squirrel packages: Squirrel --releasify HelloWorld.<your-version-here>

where is in the form w.x.y.z

• /Docs - This project was initially built to supplement a talk that I had done at Decoded Open Source Conference (#DecodedConf) in Dublin, Ireland 2016. Under this folder you can find some of my presentation material.
• Blog Post - Blog post I had written about setting up a continuous delivery pipeline using Squirrel and VSTS.
