hi, welcome to the forums

i would suggest you start with Visual Basic or with C. i would personally prefer C, but some others will not.

for C i suggest you download dev-cpp, this is an freeware compiler which i personally like better then the one that microsoft sells...

i have written a beginners tutorial on C in which you might be interested. you can click on the "other tutorials written: 2" under my username to view it, or you can go to my site: http://www.white-scorpion.nl/tutorials/tutorials.html .

also check out http://www.freeprogrammingresources.com , this site also has a lot of links for VB and C which might prove very useful.


i hope this helps
