Updating SharePoint lists programatically: Need 'Hello World' type instructions.?

Question

I am pretty advanced 'power user' of SharePoint, and I want to get into the controlling of lists programatically.

Specifically, I have a situation where I have an issue list, and when the issue is resolved, the 'Assigned To' person must take a survey. The Survey has a lookup 'question' which is tied to the issue list.

In my issues list, I have a 'yes/no' for 'survey taken', but I have to manually go in and change to 'yes' when someone takes a survey. Can I programatically change this value to 'yes', or, better yet, how can I list all issues that do not have a matching survey item?

That's a good question... You are definitely a power user. I don't have the details you are looking for. Good luck in your quest.
