MSBuild examples .Need to learn a bit about it

I work in place where they make large use of MSBUILD /task to build solutions and move dlls about,rather than just build a solution within visual studio.

I need to get a grasp quickly about it ,any books or articles that gives some examples of what you can do with msbuild?

I've recently authored a book named "MSBuild Trickery: 99 Ways to Bend the build Engine to Your Will" (see my profile for link). It includes tricks and best-practices based on many years experience using MSBuild in large build environments.

Probably best off starting with reading about it's purpose. You can then refer here for a simple tutorial on how to get started. I would recommend setting up a simple project that doesn't do much and create a simple MSBuild project you can run to build it all.

since your place makes large use of msbuild, why don't you grab one of the scripts and study it, eventually asking questions to your collegues?
