Hello world is the classic first program for any language. Just getting that far is great because it shows that you're interested enough to get the development environment and play with it long enough to get it to do something you want.
So far so good, I think, so don't get depressed because you're stuck!
I was traumatized by Visual Basic a few years ago, so I can't recommend anything specific, but when it comes to learning a new language you would be much better off with a book as your main reference. Tutorials are way too hit or miss, even though they can be used to add to your knowledge base as side references. A quick browse of your local bookstore should turn up at least one book that you feel comfortable with.
Oh, and a forum with helpful people never hurts. But I get the feeling you already figured that out.
