Yes, you can...Some educational thingybob for students and teachers.
It'll still cost, though. Does it have to be VB, or would some other - less costly - language/IDE do? Cos there's a few nice Java tools around... Eclipse, for example...

No, not hard...It's more wholesome, from an object-oriented-programming point of view. No half-measures, like VB, and nothing too scary like multiple-inheritence in C++.
Oh, and there's jobs in it, too. Which is good, 'cos it pays my mortgage!

Oh yes...Me, I don't do much application/applet stuff. I mostly do stuff destined to live on a webserver. It's excellent for the cross-platform ability, and decent support for unicode and internationalization.
I know people using my code in hebrew, arabic, chinese... on PCs, UNIX boxes, VAX machines, AS400's... and it all just works.

PHP mate....or if you don't know, HTML first.
That's if your doing web.
Otherwise, VB is actualy quite a 'fun' language, not hard at all.
Never lernt java, but might do so I can make Paint for my mobile =P
