i think visual basic it's easier to learn than c\c++ but c++ it's an higher lvl language.

VB is not a programming language, it's just drawing lol. I'm joking...

But there's no comparison to do between c/c++ and vb. These languages haven't the same goal. VB & Delphi-like are designed for interface programming, and C-like are generaly used to do lower-level-based programming.

I started off with Qbasic several years ago and then moved on to Python and finally Perl. My point being that i'm not sure the transition would be anywhere near as easy had i left out Qbasic at the beggining

Yes, VB is not to difficult
In this order I learned programming:
1. Qbasic
2. ASP (Active Server Pages)
3. VB
4. PHP
5. I'm trying to learn Python
Sure, 1 & 3 is a scripting language, but the syntax is like programminglanguage.

It's up to you, but python or vb is a good start (I think)

Edit: added qbasic
