<img src=smilies/eek13.gif> Your not looking very hard are you? Every remainder book store i go into is full of VB books. Hell, even DMCA violating services have them.

Hallaluya, you said what you meant! I personally prefer commecial books over tutorials to begin. I like being able to flip through pages as i am working! It is easier than chainging screens

Wiseass (but true) answer:
Don't bother. VB is an utter waste of time and will ultimatly just slow down the progress of your coding skill. It does so many things back-asswards from the norm, if you ever want to advance to another language that doesn't completely suck, you'll have to 'unlearn' a lot of the stuff VB taught you.
C's syntax is actually very simple (I'd say even simpler than VB). The only thing that's 'hard' about making programs in C is working with the API... but the thing is... all serious VB apps work with the API anyway because the VB substitutions are stupid and slow. Not to mention so many other languages are based on (or at least are remarkably similar to) C/C++... including Java, Delphi, C#, even PHP. So by taking the 2 extra days it takes to learn C instead of VB, you'll have a foot in the door on whatever language you decide to move to next.

Re: Wiseass (but true) answer:
If you can... probably start with straight C. If you learn C, learning C++ will be easier (C++ is C, but with a bunch of added rules and features and stuff).
You'll probably have to start small with pointless apps (proably console since it's easier to code for) until you get the basics down... then you can try moving to Windows stuff. Unfortunatly I don't have any tutorial links to give you /wwwthreads/images/icons/frown.gif
