Actually there are a lot of programming languages, Basic, Fortran, C, C++, Java, and many many more. MicroSoft would love that VB2005 become the Standard, but it has a ways to go, and since they are already talking about VB9 . . .
Visual Basic 1 came out around 1989, and have been upgraded et al 7 times since. VB6 was two versions ago. VB2005 is the latest also known as VB8 VB Express is the main portion of VB8, but if you are going to get serious you will need to upgrade to VS 2005.
Visual Studio is the actual product which allows you to use a number of different languages to program in the latest processors etc.
Start at the bottom of the Start Page in VB2005 Express, click on the Visual Basic for Beginners link, this is a series of videos - really great, get you up and going info.
