well I'm going to school to be a computer programmer. I already know that I want to specialize in vb, probably vb.net. I love vb its fun to use and the less complicated programming language other there imo, I might be wrong though. Anyways, I know I should be doing programming outside of my school aside from when I do my school projects. I would just like to know how many hours should I be programming in my spare time to really learn the language thoroughly. Also, second question how do you think I should learn the language? (books from school that i get, source code)
