VB6 is good if you want to make malicious software, due to there being no dependencies.

A lot of people say Python is a great language for beginners as well. As thanasis said, VB is a good way to get a grasp on Object-Oriented Programming. If you want a language similar to VB but with a more 'programming' type syntax, look at C#..
I would never use Visual Studio to learn C++.

Jesus! He's 14!
VB is a good stepping stone for other languages. I suggest you do!
RE: Should I take up VB? - Zeon - 11-30-2010
Is it? I heard that other languages' syntaxes are completely different.
RE: Should I take up VB? - BigBadSoft - 11-30-2010
I would start with VB, because to me VB is the stage infant stage of coding. Its fairly easy, and its a good start. I would then try C++, or maybe even HTML.
I can give you random advice when you need it, just drop a PM.

If want to learn a real language, learn C++.
I'm keeping vb.net thought. xD
RE: Should I take up VB? - versx - 11-30-2010
I'd suggest learning any .NET language to start off with, whether it be VB.NET or Csharp, just to get a grasp on a language to start from, then move onto a harder language like C++ if you wanted to.

Aren't their syntaxes completely different though? Wouldn't it be like starting again?

To me, VB6 and C++ are pretty close to the same thing, its basically drag n drop in visual studio.
There are some different codings and processes to go through, but generally, they are close to being the same.

I would never use Visual Studio to learn a serious programming language.
