-# cppcore for pybind11
+# A Python Package with a C++ extension
 
-MacOS installation:
+Explorations in how to use Python, C++, and bindings between the two systems. Build compiled code in multiple environments via GitHub Actions. Key technologies used include [pybind11](https://pybind11.readthedocs.io/en/stable/), [vcpkg](https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg), and [cibuildwheel](https://cibuildwheel.readthedocs.io/en/stable/).
+
+The project does the following:
+
+- Builds a simple C++ package
+- Includes third party C++ packages installed via the vcpkg package manager
+- Builds a python interface to the C++ package
+- Has some tests to ensure the C++ package works correctly from python
+- Automatically builds the packages on Mac, Linux, and Windows
+
+## Quickstart
+
+For this particular example, we install 3 scientific C++ packages: as dependencies for our library:
+
+* [Eigen3](https://vcpkg.io/en/package/eigen3.html) (headers only template library)
+* [GNU Scientific Library](https://vcpkg.io/en/package/gsl.html)
+* [NLopt](https://vcpkg.io/en/package/nlopt.html)
+
+Though you could customize this template as needed to install other packages from vcpkg.
+
+### MacOS/Linux:
 
 ```bash
+# check out a single commit from a git repository
 mkdir vcpkg

+
+### Windows:
+
+On Windows, install Visual Studio (2019 or 2022) and the C++ build packages (this is not related to Visual Studio Code). All commands below must be run within a Developer PowerShell for VS environment in order to use the appropriate compiler toolchain.
+
+We'll build static dependencies ([x64-windows-static-md](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/vcpkg/users/platforms/windows)) for C++ to make them easier to add to our custom Python module.
