Although
VB is a good programming language, which has a good GUI and
is easy to learn but there are somethings in VB which are not so good,
for example a 10 kb exe compiled in vb5 requires a 1 MB+ VB5 Runtime,
and the size of this runtime is increasing all the time with the new versions
of VB (VB6 RT is more heavier then that of VB5), and also there are a lot
of limitation of VB, but any was it's a good and fun language here are some
resources on the net for VB which I use regularly.
