Heh, that kinda sucks that your HS teaches VB, meh...I had to teach myself....Well my school is poor, thats probably why lmao...
Anyway, the FIRST thing you should ever do when you are a 'noob' at something is
RTFM!!
Trust me, it helps. Just read, test commands, read, test commands...ask questions if you don't get something, thats what the newcomers's corner is for..
Below are some sites that might help you out:
