How to?

I've never made a game in VB .NET, but I'd like to learn how to do it.
I know I've got to use DirectX, but I have no idea how to make the connection between the client and the server, how to show stats, etc...


I'm thinking about making a 2D game, because designing 3D graphics ain't really my thing ;p

Any help is appreciated! :)

There are a ton of tutorials out there for VB, just search 'vb directx tutorial' at yahoo and youll get some good ones. I happened to find a directx book for a couple dollars, its in C# but it's managed like vb is so it's easy to translate(Almost as good as copy and paste :) . This is a good link to start with, just scroll down to his directx section.
