WebDeploy is a foundational technology for SIF, as well as Azure deployments and even Docker (where content packages need to be converted into web deploy packages to build images). I recently did some digging into the basics of WebDeploy, including how to configure parameters in projects. This short walkthrough shows how to create a web deployment package form a project, how to publish it to an IIS site, and how to add and set a custom parameter. We'll use this to set the "My Application" text in the MVC scaffold project in Visual Studio.
