Visual Basic is an excellant tool for developing an application quickly. It is a bit like a building block set. It quickly allows you to click blocks together to build something. It's problem is that the blocks don't always do exactly what you want them to do and when they don't you are in it up to your neck.
VB does not allow you to do everything..! C+, C++ development environments however tend to be different. With them, you can do anything, but the down side is that you need greater knowledge and skill to do anything at all.
VB is a good starter, but you might get bored within a month and look forward to the greater control that C, C++ environments give you....
I agree with Artaudd. C, C++ are better.
VB is good fun and easy, but lacks the flexibility of C and C++.
