Hi guys & gals,
I'm totally new to programming, and am in need of some guidance; hope someone here can put me on the right track...
I've been using Usenet Newsreaders for some time now, and none of them can give me the necessary file-management tools I need, so I thought this would be an ideal time to start with programming. Went out to look for a Visual Basic compiler and found VB Express Beta 2...
I've been browsing around all the info on .NET, and it is overwhelming. I've got no clue of the necessary skills needed to even start with the project, so I thought maybe someone here could give me some pointers, so that I might have an idea of the direction to take.
I'm fully aware that programming a Newsreader is not something easy, and I'm not asking to guide me through the whole thing. I just need to get some perspective on where I'm trying to get.
Thanks in advance...

To get started with programming a newsreader, you'll probably want to start with a smaller proejct that will get you on the same path. Some things you should look at:
1) System.Net namespace in the .NET Framework
2) Windows Forms designer
3) The usenet communication protocol
If you have any specific questions as you get started, let us know!
Thanks,
