I suggest looking into C# instead. The two languages are vertually identical under the hood, but C# is a better choice of the two.

centered posts are annoying Confused

and besides, VB and C# come together in a single package -- Visual Studio .Net Wink

i didnt get the "Visual Studio .Net ". a friend sent just VB to me. i guess i could get C#, but why cant i just go with VB?

Is there a reason why that is better 4 me?

C# is probably still supported (unlike VB) and is also a lot newer. It's syntax is more like other modern languages (I'm pretty sure), so you will be able to learn other languages later easily. I have also heard that C# is good for making games (if that is what you are going to do) - but I suggest learning the basics of whatever language first.

C# is the better language to learn.
