Well, in my opinion, the best way to learn some programming language, is to think of a project you want to make, and start from there... Trying to learn something, without any specific way to learn, is very hard...

Start with something easy, like telephone book, or a simple text editor, and then add features slowly, as you learn more and more of the language... I tried it like that, and in a while, you will be able to create more and more advanced software...

If you are going to do what Galahad said, you need to make sure you start out VERY simple and have very small goals, if you do not, you'll just get frustrated. All of the programming I know I taught myself, and I made that mistake. If you have any VB questions you can ask me. I've been writing with it for close to 11 years now. Good luck smile.gif.

Their right. First write some simple code. This codes could also be your familiarization of the whole language. VB is an object oriented and event driven language. Most of its procedure runs becuase of an event.

You could also visit www.planet-source-code.com and read some codes ranging from beginner to expert level of coding. But before you do that grab some electronic book or print book about visual basic in its simpliest form. Study and understand first its syntax and the basic structures. Visual basic is a little bit different from other hihg level programming languages when it comes to syntax.

I guess you will really enjoy learning VB because its a tool for rapid software development programming language. With basic knowledge in functins, variables, conditional statement and operators you can already build a simple windows based software that is very useful.

OK I suggest you to use Visual Basic 2005 Step by Step by Microsoft press. It is really great book and I am just reading it also it includes some informations about .net package and so on and it involves visual studio also so all exercises are based on the visual studio and you will be working in it.

Also I would tell you that you should find some nice thing to develop and to work on it while you are writing your codes and learning the language I am just developing card game which includes a lot of graphical user interface design but it is nice to code as it has many neat things which you would need to code out.

    what you want, highlight it, find bold in the text menu and click it. The nicest thing is, you
    can save, and you don't have to worry about a forum failing after taking hours to write a guide.
