As I always say do
not start off with VB. It teaches you bad syntax and relies heavily on spacing to separate blocks. The only time I'd use VB is if I wanted to learn it for fun. If you really want to get serious go with Java as that's what most universities use. You could also try C++/C or PHP if you're interested in web stuff...
But as for tutorials, google is your friend. Just put in <<Your language here>> tutorials as the search term.
Here are some Hello World programs for those:
Java
Code:
public class HelloWorld{
public static void main(String[] args){
System.out.println("Hello World!");
}
}
C
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(){
printf("Hello World!\n");
return 0;
}
C++
Code:
#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main(){
cout << "Hello World" << endl;
return 0;
}
PHP
Code:
<?php
echo "Hello World";
?>
As for compilers/IDEs for the Java I'd recomend
BlueJ (nice and simple) for the C/C++ get
Dev C++ or if you're on unix just use gcc/g++.
