Question on starting programming

["Smartts" <smartts@esatclear.ie>]

OK

I am really eager to do Computer Programming and become a games programmer. I am 18 and in my last year of school over the last two and a bit years I have been on and off trying to get into various languages such as c++, Visual Basic and Basic.

But now i think I know  what I am doing. What is your opinion on me doing Visual Basic you know learning it and really know it and then learn and do C++.

Any feedback on this matter would be great

Thanks
