First pick a language, VB offers a rapid learning curve, Delphi also apparently is very easy to get the hang of. C/C++ is more complex but in some respects more powerful. Once you have chosen a language then the best learning method ( other than possibly paying for education) is to choose a project that is of interest to you and start to build it. Once you have done that you have at least the beginnings of a background as a programmer.
It might make more sense to choose a project first, then a language.
I think it just depends, if you want to program games for example then VB is probably not a good choice. However as it offers a very quick introduction to some programming methods it will have the advantage of early results. It is then much easier to move on to other languages as your basic skills develop.
on the other hand if you use vb, it warps your sense of programming for the rest of your life :-). Also, if you learn C, you can learn just about every other langauge you are intresed in.
