Networkable VB.Net Application?

Mar 18 2006 11:36 PM

Hi,  I am not a developer by any stretch.  I come from a web-designer background.  But I am trying to expand into vb.net and having a great time learning. 

I need some high level, general advice on building a little application with which I could show the status of several chairs at a dentist office.  This application's interface is simply a form consisting of several groups of radio buttons to show if a particular dental operatory is "Ready", "Needs Prep" or is "Busy". 

The idea is to convey to everyone in the office (on the LAN) what the status of the operatories are at a quick glance.


Operatory Status Board
Ready Prep Busy
Operatory 1
Operatory 2
Operatory 3



My question is how do I make such an application available over the LAN so everyone in the dentist office can view it and use it?  (I am sure that there are many facets to this, but I'm really just looking for someone to point me in the right direction.)

What classes of objects should I familiarize myself with? 
Are there any good tutorials available for this type of project? 
What is the terminology to describe such a project? (So I can search for help using appropriate and effective search terms)

Any help is welcome.
