recomendation needed
Author
ok id like to know if which of these few is the best starting programing language, visual basic, c++/visual c++, or visual c#. or are there any others you would recomend?
C++ / Visual C++ is pretty much the same thing. Microsoft call their IDE Visual C++. With C++ you're good for the long run, as it's the 'industry standard'. This is a very nice tutorial:

You will need a compiler and probably want an IDE to code, this is a good one:
Dev-C++
Many beginners like to start with Python, you might want to check that out too. Check out these links:

Now you have to decide for yourself. All the best!

VB is considered by many to be easier, but lacks the down'n'dirty control (and thus the speed in the finished product) of C++. As a matter of fact, out of the three you mentioned I'd recommend you go with C#, because its features make it more forgiving of beginners than C++. And of course if I'm allowed to bring in other languages that you didn't mention, I'd second deavik's recommendation of Python.

If your long term is to work in the games industry, I would try and stick with C++. VB is good to learn basic programming with, and is marginally easier than C# for learning. C# is viable for indie game development but not pro.
