Targeting multiple .NET platforms in a single NuGet package with Visual Studio 2017
As the proud owner of a NuGet package (72 downloads and counting!), I’m interested in targeting the new .NET Standard, in order to make my package available on a wider variety of platforms. In a previous post, I showed how to create and publish a simple NuGet package. However, this only covered the basic scenario of targeting a single platform.

Creating and publishing a simple NuGet package
I publish my first NuGet package the other day, and I figured I’d do a short write-up of the steps involved. It’s actually really easy, there are no difficult technical challenges to overcome here, nor are there challenges of any kind. So, this post is mainly meant as just a quick reference for myself, in case I decide to publish more stuff in the future. read full post
