how to create a web part to track page creation time

Question

I am new to SharePoint Server 2007 Web Part, and I am using SharePoint Server 2007 on Windows Server 2008. I program using VSTS 2008 + C# + .Net 3.5.

I want to create a simple web part which could display page creation time and modified time (display such time information at the bottom of a web page).

Any reference code samples or tutorials -- anything helpful for a newbie of SharePoint 2007 Web Part or this specific time tracking issue is helpful.
