first steps into a brand new world

[ACID]

Sweet, I am taking a course at school on visual basic (its more like an Independent study though because only me and this other kid are doing it)

Nice a class of two.

If you want to go into a career of programming, you are thinking in too narrow terms.

Learning Visual Basic now will be more benefical over Lua. It means you have a language in which you can quickly create tools on the windows platform for use on you programs on ANY platform. Lua should only be used for scripting purposes so chances are that you won't be in a position to use it for some time in your programs.
