Hi, therooster

the best way to become proficient in something is the same regardless of programming, drawing, singing etc.
it involves practice, learning, then applying it

i would suggest that u go to http://www.planet-source-code.com/ and look at some of the code there.
it would be ideal if u can look at the description of what a particular code does, but do not look at the code, and write the code urself

Hi,

   Becoming a master in any language needs self work. You can learn by yourself. I better recommend you a book called "Teach Yourself Visual Basic 6.0 in 28 Days" for your beginner experience. And for your expert experience I will recommend you a book called "Mastering Visual Basic 6.0".

   And ofcourse, if you want to learn online there are lot of free resources are the visit the following sites :-

www.programmersheaven.com
www.planet-source-code.com
www.vbworld.com
www.vbexpert.com
www.vbplanet.com
www.microsoft.com

Do you have any formal training in programming?
What kind of programming do you want to do?

I would recommend you take a class.  You need to learn the basics of programming.  The language is unimportant but since you want to learn VB that would be my first choice.

Learning on your own is great but bad habits can creep in.  You need to learn how to design a program.  You need to learn about the programming structures and why and when they should be used.

Where do you work?  Do you know a programmer who could be your mentor?

In addition to all that was said before, I think that another thing is to read most of the questions and answer here. You will get a lot of experiences.
I would say refer MSDN the best resource  
1. www.microsoft.com
2. MSDN
3. Experts-Exchange.com

Good Luck...
