I wouldn't recommend it, probably a waste of time....

Because it creates bloated and slow software. 😐

I wouldn't recommend to use it for new projects. but there are heaps of projects written in it. so knowing this language is useful if you want to work on legacy projects. there are more jobs where you need to maintain the old code base written in visual basic, Delphi Pascal or even Cobol

If you want to learn the basics search up Small Basic, it's a simplified version of visual basic with autocomplete and a PDF of simple to complex programs and language syntax rules. It even has an option in the IDE to "graduate" your code into actual visual basic code.
