So we're all at least somewhat techy if we're into bitcoin, but that doesn't mean we all know how to code like a pro.
I believe there is a serious lack of tutorials and step-by-step walk throughs available in the bitcoin ecosystem.
I want to use visual basic .NET (but 2.0), and I find that there are so many endless tutorials on using python and also for C#. But since I'm a big fan of visual basic .NET, I find that its impossible to find guides to do almost anything.
I'm mostly interested in trying to make a raw transaction as a nice challenge, but also sometime maybe begin a project of building a desktop wallet in .NET, or better yet, an open source .NET library on github for versions below 4.0.

It is of course a little bit easier in .NET4.0, as it has many of those bitcoin related crypto functions like BigIntegers, RIPEMD160, ECDSA calculation etc, but i would prefer trying to make it in .NET 2.0 as this way I'm having most of the tools to converting the code to a VB clone with multiOS compiling.
