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 :? 

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

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.
