Coding

Recently I've been wanting to learn some coding, I'm doing a course for Visual Basics 2010 and I'm almost done with it. But I tried another coding language called C++ cause i wanna start coding some simple games. But its really hard to find a good tutorial, so does anyone have any tips for finding an online course to start learning a coding language that is used to make games for absolute beginners?

Also is Visual Basics 2010 a good coding language to make any simple games with itself alone without any extensions?

Give me some tips on other coding programs so i can start off, thanks!
