Best way to learn TC
I am completely new to TC. For that matter I rather green at creating a build system. In my past life I was a ClearCase admin.
I have read the manuals and even ran simple builds of our code in TC.
Can someone point me to other documentation, white papers, or some real world examples I can look at?
Any recommendations appreciated.

I have a system installed, but I think I don't know my way around nearly enough.
One thing that's not helping as much as it should is the Teamcity documentation pages and the bug / board pages.
Googling is not as helpful as it could be due to the many many duplicated results, one for each version of TC.
Landing on a TC doc page is only helpful if one notes that almost every page (all?) in newer versions have only a slightly different url.
For example, these are all valid;
http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/TCD7/TeamCity+Documentation
http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/TCD6.5/TeamCity+Documentation
http://confluence.jetbrains.net/display/TCD6/TeamCity+Documentation
The two things I've done so far that helped alot were;
1.Reading the series of posts on deployment that uses Teamcity;

2.The book on continuous integration in general for dot net,

I also made myself some URL's;
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/teamcity?sort=unanswered&pagesize=50
http://youtrack.jetbrains.net/issues/TW
http://devnet.jetbrains.net/community/teamcity?view=discussions
(Note that the forum has only two boards: General and Plugins.)
Id suggest getting a mentor - you can drop me an email if you need any help with it public@paulstack.co.uk
