The Job DSL plug-in documentation is pretty good, you can start with https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Job+DSL+Plugin The main thing to wrap your head around is that there will be a 'seed' job in Jenkins which manages the rest of the jobs. This is usually a freestyle job which invokes a 'Process DSL' build step. We keep the config in SVN, which is an added bonus. Other than that, the API docs are pretty good, you can see them at [2] and there's also a DSL -> config.xml converter online at [3], so you can see the results of your DSL before adding it to SVN.
