Don't buy books that have things like "Learn ... in 3 Weeks" or whatever, because they always leave important things out. Stick with this forum and experiment in your spare time (if possible) go and buy some reference books about VB ("Pure VB" from Sams is a fantastic book, crammed with function syntax definitions, explanations and a fascinating chapter on sorting / searching algorithms).
I suggest you learn how to open text files first of all, and then become comfortable with it. because accessing files is a big part of programming and wil give you a good starting point to learn to do other things like how to manipulate data within these files etc... Everything else in VB will fall into place in its own time.
I suggest you learn controled loops and file handling first. They're VERY important and useful. You can get tutorials here on vbworld.com After that I would learn databases and API (can also find tutorials here) as most real world programs use these. Later,
