Well, from my own POV I can heartily recommend the Microsoft .net
Framework as a target platform. It really does make writing
applications fun and easy as it comes with an extensive, albeit not
necessarily complete, class library.

There's also a xAP application development framework for all .net
languages of course... ;-) So C# or VB.net are equal possibilities.

Books, well I learned C# from the first edition of this one:

C# &amp; the .NET Platform 2nd Edition
Andrew Troelson, A!Press, ISBN: 1590590554

Which I personally thought was a brilliant introductory book. Bit slow
to start off, but a really good read after that.

There is a Visual Basic.net equivalent of this C# book too:

The Microsoft .net Framework SDK is freely downloadable here:

The Microsoft® .NET Framework Software Development Kit (SDK) version
1.1 includes everything developers need to write, build, test, and
deploy .NET Framework applications—documentation, samples, and
command-line tools and compilers.

Not entirely sure what there is if you prefer the earlier Visual Basic
though. James over at www.Mi4.biz is Mr VB I believe, and Patrick has
a ActiveX control that unleashes xAP too:
