I am getting best results combining the user guide with the javadocs. It's easier if you think about gradle as "programming" (go search for the API, see what's there, stretch my groovy) instead of "using ant". The user guide is good for introducing concepts, but in the end it's easier if you understand what are you doing when you write "task 'foo' << "
On the contrary, if you are used to ant/maven, you will try to use the user guide as a "list of tags and attributes available", which it is not. My .02 euro.
