    lets take a step back and ask ourselves.. what most interests you?
    Do you want to make games?
    Do you want to make desktop applications
    Do you want to make web applications / sites
    Do you want to work with databases

    Maybe that too advanced for you. heres what i would suggest
    Learn the basics of any language thats commonly used today
    C++ Java and Visual basic might be good places to start
    Personaly. i chose C++
    C++ there is a lot of Standard Language to learn. A good book on how to use the language i found was Accelerated C++. Google it for an ISBN.
    Now. i have some experience with C++ so i have started to move on to more complicated things. Right now i am used a Library called the Simple Directmedia Layer. Which lets me do things like make 2d graphics. Simplifies sound output and getting input from devices.
    If i wanted to i could find other libraries to help me use databased or whatever else my task requires.

    I have meddled with VB6.0 and you can do quite a lot with it. but i dislike coding it because , personaly i'm at a point where i want to develope more skills. and i am Focusing more on OO designs. so i do a lot of c++ or PHP.
