If there are better languages, tell me about it and where I can get a crash course in it

Ok, try this. Think of a language other than VB - the first language that comes to mind is probably better - if it is COBOL, it's probably around the same level :> (but then, I love COBOL).

C is good, C++ is good, Java is good, Perl is good, LISP is excellent, but you probably want to do python.

http://www.python.org/ is your friend, as well as the installed docs for python. They have a tutorial titled learn python in an afternoon. I don't think you can crash faster than that. ;)
