title: Need primer for a Msbuild newbie
body: <p>We maintain a medium sized windows application developed in vb/c# .net in work. Still now the build and deploy process for this app is manual. I am determined to make this process automated using MSBuild on which i have no knowledge still now.</p>
  
  <p>Our app has a simple build structure, set of projects already grouped into four solutions(.sln) and just need to build the four slns in an order. And then publish a project(which is part of the last sln to be built) to a directory. That is it. A simple process which is already consuming 30 mins of manual build time and i'm pretty sure that this can be accomplished without manual interference using msbuild in atleast 1/4 th of the time.</p>
  
  <p>All my goals set good, i started looking around web for MSBuild resources to accomplish my process but may be looking around many things confused me. Need a pointer or a good explanation on how to start and where to start for my simple scenario. Help is much appreciated.</p>
