HttpWebRequest ~ can anyone point me to good tut? Everything found is not noob friend

[simpleonlinetester]

I couldn't get it all in the description but I'm somewhat still new to VB.NET. I'm trying to learn how to use HttpWebRequest to Post/Respond to website.

I've tried sites like MSDN but those tutorials are very bleak and don't break down the components in a noob friendly way.

Does anyone know of a book, tutorial online somewhere that can really break it down into noob steps?

I've been scouring the next and found plently of examples but those don't really tell me what the components mean/do, etc.

Thanks
