VB isn't really all that bad, and it is a useful skill while Smalltalk is of limited value. As far as the version goes, VB5 is currently available and its product will work directly with WIN32. A more advisable phasing methodology would be to only USE a small subset at first, adding other functionality to the pot in use as time (and familiarity, and experience, etc.) progress.

Josh, Visual Basic is object oriented and uses late binding, like Smalltalk. I advise you learn Smalltalk before trying to understand Visual Basic.
Also, version 5 is too advanced for a beginner. Start at version one and only upgrade for new features as you need them.
