I don't like the option Visual Basic Series because that can cover all parts of VB which includes VB.Net which is an option on its own.

I start with Basic 27 years ago with my first computer BBC Model B 32K (Acorn) with BBC Basic in 1982. When I bought an IBM compatible in 1993 I used Qbasic for few years. I needed a Windows programming language. I searched about and talked to people and they recommended VC++, which I bought VC++ v1.51 for £90. It was a difficult language to come to terms with, having been used to Basic for 27 years in its different forms. So I managed to get a pirate copy of VB4. Because our computers at work were Windows 3.1 I started with VB4 16bit. It was an easy language to follow because it follows Basic very closely.

5 years ago I download Visual Studio 6.0 from a site that isn't available anymore. I installed VC++ 6.0 to see if it had improved. No it hadn't, it was still difficult to follow. I bought books and CD's to help me out but they weren't much help. Perhaps I'm spoiled by the simplicity if VB, you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
