I would have say that Visual Basic is easy to learn compared to let say C++.
But, if you start doing larger\difficult projects with VB then the story quickly changes.
Back at post four i said that i will being starting to learn C, but then after making some test projects i quickly realized that its VB, but with C++ syntax.
Sure it allows you to use unmanaged code, but that's the only difference.
I will still move away from VB to C++ because of many reasons.
