      I doubt any online tutorial will be as good as book. If you're just learning for fun tho, if you don't want to write code that is good enough to sell, then I'm sure there's plenty of tutorials out there. This site is full of articles, although I would assume that most assume you know something to start with, you could try downloading some simple ones and reading through them.

        It looks like the book is the best way to go. I want to learn VB and programming in VB. If you learn one language, does that means you know other language easy?

          Yes, once you know the concepts of programming, it makes other languages easier. Knowing VB would mean you basically are 9/10 of the way to knowing C#. Languages like C++ are more work again, but you'd still have a start.

            Hi. Well, you're very lucky. I've been very busy. I just launched four super secret web sites! No one, I repeat, no one can know about them! :) Here they are: http://www.google.com/[^] http://www.youtube.com/[^] http://www.ebay.com/[^] http://www.amazon.com/[^] Again, these are brand new sites that no one else in the world knows about! So, keep them secret!! :) :) Okay, so on the the last two websites, it'll cost $5 to $20 for stuff. Hey, the websites that *I* just created have to make money somehow. ;) *** Do a search for: Visual Basic Visual Basic 2008 Visual Basic 2005 For stuff that you buy, you can often get the 2005 versions super cheap! On Amazon, there are a ton, yes a TON, of VS2005 VB books (check out the used and new links) that you can get shipped for $5! :) Seems no one wants the 2005 books. Heck, I'd be surprised if 1 in 10,000 people need or know about the extra 2008 features. IMHO, for the beginner/intermediate person, they'll never notice the difference between 2005 and 2008! Also, if you have Netflix, then Netflix has DVD VB tutorials. But, if you're so broke that you can't afford a book, then what the heck are you doing with a Netflix subscription? :) Once again, do not tell anyone about these brand new web sites that I just created! They are a secret! :) Okay, since I'm so proud of the new websites that *I* just created, I'll shamelessly post links. :) http://www.amazon.com/Visual-Basic-2005-Dummies-Sempf/dp/076457728X/[^] Used(0.01 + $3.99 S&H) http://www.amazon.com/Beginning-Visual-Basic-Thearon-Willis/dp/0764574019/[^] Use

              I quickly looked, and didn't see any VB courses. But, take a look anyways. http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Electrical-Engineering-and-Computer-Science/index.htm[^] Also, a number of other universities have free online courses. I know that Stanford also has some. Disclosure: I have affiliations with MIT. ________ Joe

                The best tutorials are the ones you pay for. I haven't seen any free ones that are any good. Remember, you get what you pay for...
