Ok, I have VB6...but I don't know VB6. Whats a good site that teaches VB6? I want to make chatting programs and so forth. I know a little bit of Java, C++ and Qbasic, but I havent been programming in a long long time and I just want something very simple to work in. As I understand you cant use QBasic for the internet/sockets.
You can (DSock - winsock wrapper lib), but you might as well use VB, or you might also consider FreeBasic, which is a more QB-ish Win32 compiler found at freebasic.net that you can use to make socket applications.
I would just google around. I don't know of any definitive tutorials, but Visual Basic using the visual designer is easy enough to figure out without a tutorial if you just play with it for a few days (plop down controls, check out events, etc).
Explain to me FreeBasic. Is that like an IDE like Bloodshed DevC++? I'm not all that good at programming, I just know some basics and can fiddle around.

FreeBASIC is a completely new language sprung from Qbasic. Its like Qbasic evolved for the modern world of 32bit windows. It follows the same syntax and keywords, but works in and is optimised for todays systems.
(gah, how much did that sound like some commercial marketing speech! :P)

This forum is basically it's main hub (last time I checked). The word is slowly spreading
It's relatively new, so all it takes is some exposure, really.
