Ant Users

If you have used Ant before than NAnt should feel comfortable but NAnt is only compatible with Ant in spirit. Here is a partial list of differences:

Tasks do not have to be in a target. Tasks that appear directly in the project are executed inorder before any tasks in targets are executed.
nant.onsuccess and nant.onfailure properties can be defined target names that will be executed at the end of the build.
NAnt looks for the first file ending in .build instead of build.xml.
