I started learning Visual Basic 6.0 using the book "Programming Visual Basic 6.0" by "Julia C. Bradley and Anita Millspaugh"
Another good source is "http://msdn.microsoft.com" Visual Basic: Complete Reference is also another good source. What you have to remember is, VB is in a way a RAD tool! Drag and Drop, create forms, code them and you have a quick and dirty applicatoin  Though, you can make pretty good applications as well!

VB. Net could then follow. Its not just programming languages, that could make you a good programmer, but also a good analysis and solution designing for a problem is what you need to have as well.

if you've never programmed before, this would be a great start. vb provides as much or as little crap as you want to put up with, plus you can have really fun results. i can code a VB pong game with neat graphics and shit in less time than i can code something "less fun" in a real language. like a program that adds fractions or some crap in c++. after that, do something else. i personally think adding fractions is more fun than pong, but i'm dorky. we actually had to do a pong game in class last semester, i think i was the only one to use trig functions to accomplish the task.

Don't learn VB 6.0. Go with VB .NET instead.

Visual Basic was the first language (/tool, whatever) I learned, and it's a pretty nice way to start. I used Wallace Wang's Dummies-book to learn, and I remember it being rather good (for a beginner anyway, but probably not as reference or for someone already knowing other languages.)

Microsoft is not going to support VB 6.0 for much longer. Learning the .NET platform is recommended as it's designed in a better manner. If you already know java, then you'll pick .NET fairly easily and rapidly.
