So I’ve been thinking that I want to learn programming.  I have for a long time, but I’ve only really dabbled.  I know just enough PHP to be dangerous.  I have no proper training, and I’m not sure where I should really begin.

I would like for it to be useful at work – so I’m thinking either Visual Basic or C++, so I can create in house apps and extend our Sharepoint server.  I’m also thinking that I would like to program for the web – and I do have a bit of PHP experience.  But I know that any PHP that I learn will only be use for non-NEI projects.

So to all my developer type friends – where should I start?  Are there any places in town where I can take just C++ or VB classes?
