Here's my knowledgeable list of info to you:
1. VB is NOT a weak language, it can be incredibly powerful if used properly. The vbGore engine for example can create 2D Rpgs and there are some MMORPG engines written in VB.
2. C++ is a strong language...but that's it. You can't learn C++ in 2 lessons per week, 40 mins per lesson. It would take several years to a decade to master C++ on any level. So on that note C++ is actually the weakest language of them all, better to be able to create something than nothing.
3. If you really want a good language overall use C#, it's a mixture of Java and C++ which has about 80-90% of C++'s power along with Java's object orientated programming, not as easy as VB but now adays nothing is.
