i read a thread about progaming language and how a dummie could learn it and in the replys one talk about basic saying that was the most easy to learn and simple cause it had some logic thats why i ask where to find a tutorial , i think the name for the language was basic not vb only basic .

Basic is a pretty limited langague without a great deal in the way of decent compilers for it. If you want to learn programming that I suggest you check out Python instead. Its supposed to be a very good learn-to-program language, and its quite popular (not to mention that it has wxPython so you can write a program with a GUI that works under Linux and Windows without too much trouble).

Forget Basic. It only gives you bad habits.

Try shell script (teaches a lot of logics, being very easy as 1st PL), Tcl/Tk (nice GUI), Python or Perl.

I program a lil in all of them and know some Pascal (bad), C (quite useless/unnecessary if you don't have a decent project to run -- otherwise, write in Perl/Python).

Basic only gave me headaches!
