A quick build 'function' for auctex

Hello,

I'm quite new to emacs. I used to type my TeX files in kile or in winedt.

I'd like to have a function similar to the 'quick build' feature in kile. 
That is :

1) Save the file (one file or all the files related to a master file)
2) [In pdfmode] Do pdflatex on the file (or on the master file) then if 
no error detected launch evince to see the resulting pdf file.
   OR
   [In dvimode] Do latex on the file (or on the master file) then if no 
error detected do dvips then do ps2pdf then launch evince to see the 
resulting pdf file.
3) If errors are detected, open a buffer to see the output

These steps would be done without prompting the user.

I'm confident that it is doable in emacs but I have no knowledge of emacs 
lisp. So, if anyone could spend a few time in helping me, I would be very 
grateful.

Thanks a lot.
