If I had to recommend any place for you to start, it would be this:
- Learn how binary numbers work, binary addition and multiplication
- Understand how the memory and CPU work together. Learn the basics about CPU registers and briefly the purpose of each.
- Understand hexadecimal notation and why it came about
- Learn how to write a "Hello, world!" program
- Although you probably learned this in VB, learn about basic programming constructs: if-statements, else-statements, for loops, do-while loops, while loops, print statements
- Learn about variable declaration, arrays, and pointers
- Learn bitwise operators (&, |, ^) and learn the unique properties of each
If you can get this far. You are well on the road to become a good programmer.
