I want to learn to program in VB6...first off what should I use to learn how to start. {Im a complete beginner when it comes to programming} and what should I use to learn how to get better and better. And where can I d/load Vb6?? If you know where I can d/load the full version that would be appreciated.

VB6 . . . I got VB6 when I bought Visual Studios 6.0 for $25 in the campus computer store. Here's a link to the MS Visual Basic 6.0 site:

There's also a link to the VB tutorials page, I haven't checked that out yet.

Well, the best way to learn how to program is to take a course at a local community college. It's much better than buying a book and trying to read through it. That method is increadingly monotonous and hard to pull off unless you're willing to read such a fat/boring book.

I learned to program from books, but I also got help from various people and my dad. Taking a class will probably be easier because if you have questions you can ask and get help from a teacher.

Some VB6 textbooks come with an educational version of VB6. It pretty much is the same with some features missing, but the missing features are not important to a beginning programmer. I learned VB6 with a book, but I think the best way to learn programming is taking a class. That way, you will learn the meaning behind certain functions, instead of only knowing how to use them. Classes also usually require you to work in groups, because in the real world, different people work on a separate section in certain projects.
