Subject: Tuesday May 5 - Intro to MSBuild by Steve St. Jean


The Western Mass .NET Users Group is hosting its next monthly meeting on
Tuesday, May 5th at 6:00 PM at the MassMutual Learning Center in
Chicopee, MA. Free pizza, drinks and dessert will be provided
compliments of MassMutual. Attendance is always free and open to anyone
interested in learning about Microsoft .NET technologies. Directions are
below.

Presentation Abstract: 

The .NET Framework 2.0, 3.5 and even Windows Vista now ship with an
"Enterprise-grade" build automation system called MSBuild.  It is the
foundation of the Visual Studio project and compilation systems and has
been extended to provide the "Build in a Box" functionality within Team
Foundation Server.


In this code-heavy session I'll show the basics of MSBuild's syntax,
features and extensions.  Some significant improvements were shipped
with the .Net 3.5 version so I'll also hilight those differences.
Time-permitting we will dive into more advanced topics that will "round
out" the MSBuild experience.  The session will start from "Hello World"
and build from there so no experience with MSBuild is assumed or
required.
