[AccessD] Now what do I do with this thing?

OK, so now that I have this fancy Visual Studio.net (which comes with no
book of course) - what do I do with it?  I have:

Visual Basic .net
Visual C# .net
Visual C++ .net
Visual J# .net
and Crystal Reports .net.
The .net framework SDK
The Windows application compatibility toolkit

What the &^%$ is this .net thing they are so proud of?
What the (*&%* is the # thing they are so proud of?

How do I write a program?  Hello world?  ;-)

I feel very discombobulated in this environment.  It appears that it is
designed to allow navigation through a varied set of tools, but I was kind
of expecting to press a button somewhere and be transported on my magic
carpet to something resembling the VB development environment.  I haven't
found that button yet!

If anyone out there is using this thing and wants to discuss it with other
(even us neophytes) please raise your hand.
