Creating a webpart 1

[wannabe67]

I am VERY new to sharepoint and my boss wants me to learn how to create webparts. I run XP and have Visual Studio 2008 installed? The very basic question I have is...Can I create webparts on my local box for deployment on our SharePoint server? Is there a beginners website that will show me how to do this using VS 2008? Thank you for any help.

There are many tutorials available on the web for creating custom web parts and there are many different approaches. I would start with these links, but also use google to search out other tutorials.
I would also definitely look on codeplex at wspbuilder (
