VB is a VERY bad programming language to learnin my opinion.. though it was designed for beginner's to my experience VB promotes a lot of dirty and bad programming techniques, VB itself has a habit of producing dependency heavy code which does not always run very well, if at all... and VB code is notorious for being unsafe--I am not sure if this is due to a lot of bad programmers, or because the language lacks proper compiling techniques, or is not very good with runtime/compile-time error checking.

I would sooner recommend Delphi/Kylix/BCB before VB if you want to learn some form of RAD based development. Even C# is really good... and the type safety in C# is amazing...
