sharepoint calendar solution
===

I need some directions developing something in Sharepoint.
i know c# , asp.net but never worked on sharepoint before, what i would like to do is to have a visual component ( a calendar) in which i would like to place events i pull from a database, or without placing events in that calendar, i would like the user to click a day on the calendar and get details.

my question is does anyone know about a tutorial, step by step, to install use sharepoint ? i have visual studio 2010, and we do have a sharepoint server.

please help.
