I haven't heard much dispute about whether VB is a programming language. It is a bit slow but doubtlessly very powerful.

HTML however, isn't really a programming language. The most non-static thing HTML has is a form...

By the way, I recommend JavaScript. Free, and shows you the basics of syntax. The code is exactly like ActionScript, and very simliar to the C's and JAVA. VB however, has longer code (although Microsofts VB compiler types some of the code for you) and is...non-standard.
