Hello,

I am new to programming and chose Visual Basic to be the first programming language I learn. I currently have Visual Basic 2008 Express Edition installed and was wondering if there are any good VB tutorials and books to help me learn the language.

Also, I had a few questions out of curiousity.

1. Can I code a new BASIC-like language using Visual Basic?
2. Is it possible to code an IDE that uses plugins to support Visual Basic, C/C++, etc...

And where can I purchase the full version, latest edition of VB?
