dotnetlayout.md

To follow is my standard layout for .NET projects. It is a modification of David Fowler's dotnetlayout.md gist

$/
  artifacts/
  build/
  dependencies/
  docs/
  packages/
  samples/
  scripts/
  source/
  tests/
  .gitignore
  .gitattributes
  {solution}.sln
  build.cmd
  LICENSE.txt
  NuGet.config
  README.md

All folders are optional but most will be used.

• artifacts - Build outputs go here. Doing a build.cmd generates artifacts here (nupkgs, dlls, pdbs, etc.)
• build - Build customizations (custom msbuild files/psake/fake/albacore/etc) scripts
• dependencies - Things that can NEVER exist in a nuget package or downloaded by script.
• docs - Documentation stuff, markdown files, help files etc.
• packages - NuGet packages
• samples - Sample projects.
• scripts - Scripts for the solution that are not directly related to the build. e.g. DeleteFilesNotUnderSourceControl.bat.
• source - Main projects
• tests - Test projects
• build.cmd - Bootstrap the build for windows

        {app}.WebApplication
        {app}.WebApiApplication
        {app}.WPFApplication
    \samples
    \src
        {app}.API
        {app}.BLL
        {app}.DAL
        {app}.Library
    \tests
        {app}.Console.Specifications
        {app}.MVC.Specifications
        {app}.WebApi.Specifications
        {app}.WPF.Specifications
    \Solution Items (todo: rename)

• {app}.Library potentially shared with all projects.

@dmitry excuse the late reply. I did get a notification of your comment.

You are right - updated appropriately.
