Programming advise?

since i am using computer from 5 to 6 years.i have good command over computers internet etc. now i want to start to learn programming from basic to advance. i dont have any knowledge of language fundamentals. i have seen VB 2005 i have designed some basic interfaces in it. but later i came to know that i must have good concept of OOPS or C or c++. few told me you cant learn VB2005 without learning vb 6 or Vb .net 2003. if i will start learning that it will take 6 or more months and than VB2005. its not look great for me. i dont want develop hardcore giant and multinetwork applications. i am planning to develop midrange of applications relating to inventory accounts etc. my question is


it is possible to learn directly VB 2005 or i have to learn vb 6 and more. i always wonder how can u lern writing lots of codes betwen the lines. guide me in this more suggetions also.

Programming advise?
to learn visual basic 2005 or later without visual basic 6 knowledge, you must have a project in mind.





and good housekeeping of files, good utilities to troubleshoot the codes, good backup of files, lots of rest after thinking about the codes etc.





to master the basic knowledge of visual basic 2005 or later, you need at least 6 months or more unless you have a teacher beside you.





work hard and you can make it to the programmer's desk.
