For web designing, I used to use Microsoft FrontPage 2000, that generated somewhat usable pages, but my first experiences with HTML was learning from a book that I got from the library, then I ended up at W3Schools, where I finished learning HTML and started other stuff, like CSS and PHP.
For programming however, my first experience was using Microsoft Visual Basic 2005 Express edition, creating a "Hello World!" program (the simplest thing), and then trying to use some free tutorial books from Microsoft. It included video tutorials as well as an eBook that (supposedly) taught you to create 2 programs, a weather watcher sort of thing and a RSS reader. Both didn't work properly once I was done, even the downloaded sample files didn't run properly
So then I tried something simpler, QBasic. It was very simple actually, and I followed a tutorial for kids, which was located at http://tedfelix.com/qbasic/index.html. It was well-written, and simple to do. But the programs that were created needed QBasic to run, which was fine as long as I'm the only one using them. But that wasn't my intent.
I would like to know if there is something for Visual Basic Express that is as simple to follow and as extensive as W3Schools. Otherwise, I need some ideas to start programming. It seems to be interesting!
