Tile-based rpg help

Hello everyone,
I'm working on a visual basic game but since i am quite new to vb programming i need some help.

The game im trying to make is an rpg with tile-based maps. however, i do not understand how to create the maps and get the tiles to tile :) could someone either provide some explanation or a tutorial online (i cant afford to cash out on more books)? after i get this down i think it will be easier to work on the game, as there is something visual. thanks, hope you will all bear with my beginners questions!

Hi!

It takes a bit of skill to lay tiles. But with a little effort anyone can do anything! Just goto www.planet-source-code.com and look for rpg games. I bet you can find one that will teach ya the good basics there.

Goodluck!

Thanks a lot for your help, I'm checking out their website now. I'll let you guys know when I get more work done on it.
