First of all,you have to choose a language.
You can search for manuals/tutorials/instructions through internet for more details.
Can you give more details about your project?

because i haven't free time than i choose VB6 language,i want to study this language so fast.
details of project is:
- Control other devices at home example TV,air-condition,refrigerator,microwave oven...etc..
- First,you can monitor status all devices with PC,interfacing PC via Serial Port with 89C51 or 8051.And you can control it at PC
- all devices connected to relay or CP,every device use a relay,if one device have problem,system will automatic turn off this device and alarm
- After you go out.Have a regulation automatic control.If you forgot turn off devices,after a few minutes it'll auto turn off.
This some detail of my project.My teacher require me built system via Interfacing with PC.so i have some hard,i don't know any language.
If you have some experience,please show me, thanks a lot

I'm not familiar with VB6 language.A useful advice is to search for codes similar to your project,so that you get an idea on how to organise it.

I think a Microcontroller will best do the job for you.8051 may be or even 8085 will do.
For that you need to learn assembly programming or C programming.

VB6 is the best choice for a new programmer.
Find an IO or Port dll file on the internet that has instructions on how to use the dll in VB6 and download it. Be sure to follow the instructions like where to put the dll file and the like, and make sure the dll works on your OS. If you are using XP make sure it works for the XP, because stuff written for Win98 won't work on XP. I wish I;d save my VB6 PortIO stuff from a few years back when I was driving steppers with it. You can also use the dll in VB.Net but you need to write some extra code to use the dll functions and I can't remember how to do it, I only used it one time and that's a couple of years ago.
