MS Visual Basic.net - Standard

Hi. I'm looking for advice. I have Microsoft Visual Basic.net Standard edition and I wonder if it's worth installing and learning VB.net from this version. Is it obsolete? Is it used, but the 2003 version isn't the one to learn from/with, or is it the perfect noob edition to start to learn with?

Should bag it and learn PHP?

Thanks in advance.
 
VB.NET is a .NET language, so you'll learn a lot about .NET in slightly more novice-friendly environment than some other languages. But if you go that way you should eventually aspire to learning C#.

PHP is a totally different language, mostly for different purposes. (Unless you use VB.NET with ASP.NET.) You know how there are two smartphone ecosystems, Apple and Android? Well, there are two sorts of webapp ecosystems, Microsoft (ASP) and open-source (PHP, Ruby on Rails, Django, Node.JS, and everything else.) PHP might be the least novice-friendly of them all.

If you want to go in the direction of webapps and websites, start with HTML, JavaScript, the DOM, and maybe CSS at some point. Then look into PHP. Or ASP. Or Ruby on Rails, Django, Node.JS, etc.
