There is no exposition of this on the web so far
may be in youtube videos
videos really slows down learning (for me)
How to projects, plugins, and tasks interact?
what is configured?
What is executed?
What is gradle's philosophy and architecture?
The how, that explains how it ticks?
By knowing what everything else derives meaning?

Convention
Execution (via tasks) assuming convention
Configuring execution to (to describe dependencies or altering convention)

Another note on configuration
A build script developer can declare dependencies for different scopes e.g. just for compilation of source code or for executing tests. In Gradle, the scope of a dependency is called a configuration

More on module dependency
If you declare a module dependency, Gradle looks for a module metadata file (.module, .pom or ivy.xml) in the repositories. If such a module metadata file exists, it is parsed and the artifacts of this module (e.g. hibernate-3.0.5.jar) as well as its dependencies (e.g. cglib) are downloaded. If no such module metadata file exists, Gradle may look, depending on the metadata sources definitions, for an artifact file called hibernate-3.0.5.jar directly. In Maven, a module can have one and only one artifact. In Gradle and Ivy, a module can have multiple artifacts. Each artifact can have a different set of dependencies.

Here are how various dependencies are added
apply plugin: 'java'
//so that we can use 'compile', 'testCompile' for dependencies
dependencies {
//for dependencies found in artifact repositories you can use
//the group:name:version notation
compile 'commons-lang:commons-lang:2.6'
testCompile 'org.mockito:mockito:1.9.0-rc1'
//map-style notation:
compile group: 'com.google.code.guice', name: 'guice', version: '1.0'
//declaring arbitrary files as dependencies
compile files('hibernate.jar', 'libs/spring.jar')
//putting all jars from 'libs' onto compile classpath
compile fileTree('libs')
}

Here is an interesting way of using project extensions
satya - 7/18/2018, 8:46:40 AM
Quick summary
Define a class with executable methods that can operate on any aspect of Gradle build
Register the class with Gradle as an extension
You can execute methods of that class as a closure whose delegate is that class instance
