How to stop worrying and love MSBuild
summary
Explains concrete changes: new SDK-style .csproj that keeps project.json conveniences (simple files, multi-targeting, package references and pack to produce multi-target NuGet payloads), Visual Studio 2017 + Update 3 and the dotnet CLI delivering an MSBuild on .NET Core, repository-wide settings via directory.build.props, and generated assembly attributes. Shows diagnostics and debugging: project pre-process with msbuild /pp, detailed text logging (flp /v:diag) and compact binary logs via msbuild /bl opened in the Structured Log Viewer, and notes incremental builds rely on target inputs/outputs.
