Right, this is my attempt to give back to the community and help out the even more noobish than I. I thought I'd write about something really simple that I could do in my sleep so there was no chance I'd get it wrong!:

This tutorial will tell you how to create a web browser in less than 10 minutes and is actually really easy:

I use Microsoft's VB.NET as a compiler. It's really easy to use and does most of the hard work for you. If you have not yet downloaded and installed it, then do so. Create a new Windows Application (File --> New) and then resize the default form to your liking!

The main part of the web browser is contained within the next stage. From the toolbox, drag a WebBrowser onto the form and make it the dimensions you want. Next drag a text box and button underneath it. Call the web browser "browser1", the text box "tbox1" and the button "button1".

Now for the actual coding. Double click on the button and add the following code in the appropriate place:




Now exit code view and press F5 to run. Your own web browser! In less than the time it takes to start IE (almost - lol)! Any questions or if it doesn't work please let me know!
