Post How easy to learn Visual Basic?
Hi,
the OH is going on a VB course in a few weeks. This got me thinking that it might be a good idea to learn myself. Can anyone recommend and good books or places to start? Are there different flavorus of VB or is it just std?

thanks in advance

There are quite a few versions of VB

VB, VB.Net, VBA, dark basic to name a few

It's an ok language to learn, 4guysfromrolla.com would be a fairly good starting point

If you learn vb.net then it's about as easy as real programming gets, and all the tools you need to learn are available for free. You can create simple Windows applications in literally just a few minutes.

Personally, I'd suggest you start here: http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/e ... ic-express
