Google for some kind of "vb tutorials" will find you plenty.

A very simple place to start might be a simple Windows Forms application to capture some basic data, store it in a database (Access would be good for learning purposes, or SQL Server Express if you are a bit more adventurous), return it and maybe a simple report.

Good luck!!

Hello Riskyban,

Well you remember myself when i started few years ago to write "Visual Basic" programms using "Visual Studio 2010". I am happy to give you some advice to help you.

Well the first question you should ask yourself before start to thing and programing in VB is "Why I need VB?"

It's a simple question, but it will be helpful to understands what you need. If you are novice in programing then the best option you have is to start with a more useful language, such as C# or HTML -HTML is the language for developing websites, but i thing you know that-.
So understand your needs and how far you want to go with the developing.

Second and -in my opinion the most important- is "I want to hack anybody"! O.o

Ok i know it's silly and i don't want to tire you but if you have such ambitions then start with linux systems and programing languages , such as C#, Java and Python

Now to get to the point of your question, i would glad to help you to start, if you take that direction with programing. You can contact with me from my profile at http://www.codeproject.com/Members/georgegkas, and my email: georgegasproductions@gmail.com.

But for the record the best option you can take is to start programming with simple apps, such as a timer or a login form"

I will post here some links for you. Don't ignore them. Anything you can learn in that stage is very good...

..of course you can always PM to me for more help! ;)

You may start with a project that will help you solve a simply mathematic problem. For example, adding the total number of sale in a shop for a day.


You need to have that creative mind when not doing a real job.

The example above was the first project I ever completed in vb.net the first week into learning that programming language.

Good luck.
