Visual basic is the worst language to start your programming life with.

Visual Basic for me is the worst language to start learning programming. Basically because of the auto complete feature of the language integrated development environment.
People starting with this get in a habit of looking for help with their problems.

Well, its accessible - thats good. Dijkstra once said learning BASIC ruins programmers for future work.... maybe that was true at the time, but languages such as VB are better than they were - and it does get people interested in programming. Of course, I wouldn't advise writing "proper" code in it.... but its OK.

I think far more destructive is when people write code with no formal training and then ignore any future training they get! Theres tones of very poor code out there, in any language!
