Increasingly, we rely on NuGet Packages in our .NET Development efforts.

What happens when you are on a plane, train, an automobile - in some circumstance where you are not online and consequently, not connected to your NuGet package source? This is where a local NuGet package source comes in handy. Locally, we can easily stand up an IIS-based NuGet package source. While useful, that is not the simplest thing we can do.
