Consuming the Solution

At the moment the codebase is there but I'm lacking a complete web demo. I'll get round to it though as I am writing documentation and an accompanying set of articles.

Nightlies are available from MyGet

A sample Nuget.config file is as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <packageSources>
    <add key="nuget.org" value="https://www.nuget.org/api/v2/" />
    <add key="myget.ditto" value="https://www.myget.org/F/umbraco-ditto/" />
    <add key="myget.zoombraco" value="https://www.myget.org/F/zoombraco/api/v3/index.json"/>
  </packageSources>
</configuration>

Eventually there will be a Nuget package for consuming the library once the Ditto dependency is released.

Having a play around is encouraged, I'm always looking for feedback.
