Getting started developing add-in for powerpoint

Question

I would like to develop an add-in for Microsoft PowerPoint. I have Visual Studio 2012 installed and ready, but i can't seem to find any simple tutorials or getting started guides on the subject except this brilliant (sarcasm) guide from Microsoft: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/vstudio/cc668192.aspx

I have been searching the net for a few days, but without any luck.

Is there anyone with experience in developing add-ins for PowerPoint, who could give me a hint on how to get started?

It would be great to know if you prefer Visual Basic or C# and why.

Lastly, sorry if I sound like a rookie. I am for sure.

Kind regards.
