I was surfing the webs in search for a sweet tutorial to learn the basics in Visual Basic some time ago. Found Sean Greasleys to be a great start for anyone who want to learn the language rather fast. Even though this is in VB 6.0 it's easier to start from here rather than jumping into the latest version and trying to understand it! Enjoy!
