I think you should take at least a quick VB6 view. Then i promise... VB.NET would be much easier. If you know GWBASIC, then it's REALLY COOL for you to go VB6 and then VB.NET. It would be a nice familiarised ride for you through Vb if you have done GW BASIC. I must say.

As far as OOP is concerned... i think look for a print book... these books would be really cheap and handy!

EVEN, NOWaDAYS you can take a look at the +2 level IP(Informatic Practices) books for CBSE. THEY WILL GIVE YOU ALL THE BASIC STUFF for OOP. Also sub Tenth level ICSE books can give you. Borrow it from you bro.

if u r absolute beginner to object orientation
better tell us ur grounding in other languages

then it will be easier to make suggestions

as far as VB6 and VB.net are concerned
to start with it should always be VB6 !!!

Check out some torrents for ebooks. You'll get lots. I personally liked Herbert Schildt.

And guys correct me if I'm wrong but VB sucks! C++ rules!! (no offence meant)

Try this link:

Also search for java books/ebooks. They have the best intros to OOPS I've seen. Herbert schildt is good.

You don't need gwbasic to start off learning vb/vb.net. They don't look that alike. VB is basic enough (pun not intended). Learn the prelimnaries from that and move onto vb.net. But if u can learn quickly, you can start at vb.net.

Lorddj:
I love both the languages and both are good when you know when to use what.

Visual basic is not the language of choice while learning OOPS. My suggestion is choose either C++ or Java, although I don't think VB sucks as a programming tool, but stay away from it so long u don't understand the basics of OOPS and algorithms. There are more than enough books that are written on OOPS and many of them are available for download ( as e-copy) but downloading them free would be contributing to piracy (in most of the cases). So I suggest a very good C++ book which might be the basic of OOPS for u, and yet would not be a piracy, here it is: Thinking in C++ by Bruce Eckel.http://www.mindview.net/Books/TICPP/...ngInCPP2e.html

cyborg, dude...i have read OOP for 4 years during my B.E, and found no book better than Balaguriswamy..e-book is easy to get but not easy to read, I'll advice u to get the above said book, its fantastic, easy to understand and above all slim ( ) unlike herbert schildt.....well herbert is "baap" of all, but for starters, I wud suggest balaguruswamy....and U dnt have to understand OOP for VB as it is not a OOP language. first be familiar well with C++, the most basic and "exciting" language, be confident and jump to VB.NET (C# is preferable).......Happy Programming

For OOP, C++ or Java is better. Until VB.NET, Visual Basic was not a full fledged OOP language. Even VB6 cannot be considered a real OOP language. For advanced readers, the best book is Thinking in C++ or Thinking in Java (based on the language chosen). Both are authored by Bruce Eckel and available for free download from his website...

BTW, I dont recommend VB for any serious programming. I was developping some code in VB.NET for an engineering problem. Then, I took the same code and rewrote it in Java. Even though Java is said to be slower than C++ due to the nature of its compiling, it was much much faster than VB.NET... It might have been a singular case, but I stopped using VB because of it. So, for small programs, you might like to stick to VB and for larger ones, I recommend C++ or Java...
