Where are good places to start learning VB?

Answer 1

I suggest you to start with C#, because is more related to C++ and will give you a good introduction to .net

Petzold book .NET Book Zero - What the C or C++ Programmer Needs to Know About C# and the .NET Framework is perfect for the task (free)

Then you can learn VB.net, a cousin of C#.
