I taught myself to program at a professional level working on VB.NET. nothing i'd ever tried "clicked" with me until i could see all the pieces coming together. The syntax reminded me of old VBA macros I'd built, and there was a great online support community. (Stack Overflow is an incredible resource). I still work in VB.NET but i also use C#, R, and a bit of Python. And of course, my VB.NET usage was all industrial test automation, it's the closest language to the VBA/VB6 that all the engineers were familiar with, easiest way for them to get comfortable with our solution.
