AutoIT and VB any similarities?

[xandout]

Hey all ive been developing an autoit installer thing that has a gui for selecting what software you want to install(for system restores at work) im learning alot i develop at night and its in production the next day. my boss loves it and i want to thank everyone here so many posts have helped me code or make theory for my code especially thanks to this post !!! that made me search and learn through testing.

my question is "Is VB hard to learn?, Could i get some advice on good places for noobs to go to learn?" im wanting to mesh the capabilities of AutoIT with another language.

Here's how I learned a lot of VB.

Opened Word, and started MacroRecorder. Did some things, then Opened the macro in the VBA editor in word.

It's pretty easy once you realize it's all "Object.Method" driven.

Then there's plenty of websites to help also, AND vba and Vb are so closely tied together, it's easy to move from one to the next.

VB.Net - a little more difficult though, imo.
