HTML is not a programming language, and imo it's useless learn those codes, as there are lots of programs that can generate web pages for you (read: frontpage, dreamweaver, etc...)

imo, going from vb to vc is as easy as going from vc to vb, of course, if you suppose the same initial level of knowledge of both languages.
[edit] however, usually VC++ programmers have more experience so for they it's easier change from their VC++ to VB than for VB programmers (with less experience) change from VB to VC (that's what I wanted to mean) [/edit]
Ok. You're 14. I'd suggest you start with VB. It's easy, you'll get good results quickly and you'll learn the basic things about programming. Starting with VC++ or Java just will things be like
. Once you have learnt how to program in VB, changin to VC++, Java, Delphi, etc... will be just learn a couple of new things specific to the new language. The idea of how things are done will be the same and you'll already have it.
That is for making programs for Windows. PHP is for web. It's as easy (or as hard) as C. You can try it, but I think that what you're looking for is make Windows programs.
btw, there was a thread about the same some time ago... I'll try to search it....
