Well I'm glad about 9+ people showed their excitement in learning some visual basic, and since We have the required amount of people to start I'm going to now create all of these tutorials.
Now, first off we need to make sure you have all of the tools and programs required for this... course?
Anyways lets begin;
Getting Started with Visual Basic/Studio For the tutorials I'm making you are going to need to have Visual Basic 2010 Express Edition installed on your computer. This is a free product from Microsoft and so you should be aware that it is completely safe. It will likely install all of the other needed components for you (such as the .Net Framework). To find Visual Basic 2010 Express edition go to the following link :

Install Now - English
and then run through the installer. Should be pretty straight forward from their. The reason we are using 2010 instead of the 2012 edition is because I use Visual Studio 2010 Professional Edition. If you use a different one their may be slight differences in the software that may not correctly follow my tutorials properly. So this is just to make sure everything makes sense and works. Professional Edition cost money so don't bother with that, I just got it free from University.
Starting Visual Basic- Click the start menu icon and find Visual Basic or Microsoft Visual Studio / basic, and click on it.
- Select New Project (as shown on the image to the side).
- If applicable, select visual basic from the left column
- Select "Windows Form Application" from the middle window.
- Hit OK.
- You should now see:

Congratulations, you are well on your way to creating you first visual basic applications.
I'm aware you may think this wasn't much of a tutorial and you didn't learn anything. But I have to start off telling everyone to install the application and I need to make sure everyone can do it. If you have any issues or questions post them, pm me, anything.
Also this is me testing out my style of tutorials as well. I'll be adding a tutorial for your first REAL program today as well so stay tuned.
