I would advise to do yourself a big favor and not start with any kind of Basic. It's just a common misconception that it is "easy", or something like that. There are other choices. Basic was never meant to be standardized. Even the versions which are de-facto decent tools, such as VB.NET are not to be taken too seriously. The only purpose of such products is to extend the customer base by those who thought that using past Basic experience could save a lot of effort. This is nothing but illusion. What to do instead, depends on many factors...

Visual Studio Express, and learn C#.

You can get the community edition (free) of Visual Studio from here;

http://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-community-vs

With that you will be able to develop software and more importantly use the .NET programming language of your choice. Hope that helps, got to get back to my illusion, nothing too serious going on here.
