[Ndn-interest] [EXT] Tips for getting started?

[Junxiao Shi]

Dear folks

I wrote a blog post about how to get started with NDNts.
https://yoursunny.com/t/2020/NDNts-node-start/

It explains how to send and receive Interest and Data, and introduces two
powerful features of NDNts that other libraries do not have.

Yours, Junxiao
