I like this PhilBon guy - I'm really new to these forums but he seems to talk real sense all over.

The other thing which I'd just like to add though is that as a devout VB.NET programmer that people do often underestimate its power. You can do a heck of a lot with it. He's got a point though, if you do want to do something powerful maybe start with VB.NET and then move onto a more complex language like C# or C++.

I started out with VB.NET about 2 to 3 years ago and then I went through the various stages gradually progressing until I got to doing some Direct X 9.0 in VB.NET and then I decided to learn something new (C#). However, because I'd learnt the basic principles of programming in VB.NET it was really, really easy. Good luck!
