+gRPC in 3 minutes (C#)
+========================
+
+BACKGROUND
+-------------
+For this sample, we've already generated the server and client stubs from [helloworld.proto][].
+
+Example projects depend on the [Grpc](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Grpc/), [Grpc.Tools](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Grpc.Tools/)
+and [Google.Protobuf](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Google.Protobuf/) NuGet packages
+which have been already added to the project for you.
+
+PREREQUISITES
+-------------
+
+- Windows: .NET Framework 4.5+, Visual Studio 2013 or 2015
+- Linux: Mono 4+, MonoDevelop 5.9+
+- Mac OS X: Xamarin Studio 5.9+
+
+BUILD
+-------
+
+- Open solution `Greeter.sln` with Visual Studio, Monodevelop (on Linux) or Xamarin Studio (on Mac OS X)
+
+# Using Visual Studio
+
+* Build the solution (this will automatically download NuGet dependencies)
+
+# Using Monodevelop or Xamarin Studio
+
+The nuget add-in available for Xamarin Studio and Monodevelop IDEs is too old to 
+download all of the nuget dependencies of gRPC. One alternative to is to use the dotnet command line tools instead (see [helloworld-from-cli]).
+
+Using these IDEs, a workaround is as follows:
+* Obtain a nuget executable for your platform and update it with
+ `nuget update -self`. 
+* Navigate to this directory and run `nuget restore`.
+* Now that packages have been restored into their proper package folder, build the solution from your IDE.
+
+Try it!
+-------
+
+- Run the server
+
+  ```
+  > cd GreeterServer/bin/Debug
+  > GreeterServer.exe
+  ```
+
+- Run the client
+
+  ```
+  > cd GreeterClient/bin/Debug
+  > GreeterClient.exe
+  ```
+
+You can also run the server and client directly from the IDE.
+
+On Linux or Mac, use `mono GreeterServer.exe` and `mono GreeterClient.exe` to run the server and client.
+
+Tutorial
+--------
+
+You can find a more detailed tutorial in [gRPC Basics: C#][]
