Eww....Visual Basic is easier to learn and write, but it's an interpreted language, which basically means when you get to more complicated tasks, it's slow as hell. Though I doubt if you'll notice it's slowness at all in your first several years of learning it. Also, it requires runtime libraries to run, which means you can't really move the program from computer to computer and have it still run, unless you installed the exact same VBRuntimes on every computer :-/
If you have access to Visual Studio .NET, you might want to try learning a bit of C++ on the side if you think you'll be doing complicated projects, because no one really uses Visual Basic in the real world. It's great for cranking out quick programs, but little else.
