ABOUT


The MSBuild training provided by DevOpsConsulting.in focuses on building skills in Microsoft MSBuild, a platform used for managing and automating software builds. The course covers both essential concepts and advanced customization of MSBuild, which is integrated into Visual Studio but can operate independently.

Participants will learn how to orchestrate builds, troubleshoot issues, and create efficient build environments using MSBuild for managed and native code. The training includes hands-on exercises with real-time projects, emphasizing a practical approach with 70% lab work. Key topics include customizing build events, troubleshooting performance issues, and using logging for debugging.


This course is suitable for developers and professionals familiar with Visual Studio, the CLI, and C++ or C#. It includes features like lifetime access to materials, cloud lab infrastructure, and 24/7 support​( Software Engineerings ).
