VC++ is just Microsoft's implementation of C++, so if you already know
C, you shouldn't have too much trouble picking up VC++. VB is an
entirely different language, much simpler, but different.

I don't know if you realise and were just not specific, but both VC++
and VB are outdated now. They have been replaced by .NET versions of the
same language. I wouldn't waste time learning the pre.NET versions as
they are a dwindling requirement in the marketplace.

I know this wasn't on your list, but C# will probably be the easiest with
your background.
Otherwise, C++/CLI (the newest version of VC++) will be nearly as easy.

I was going to suggest C#, but he mentioned he's working in a company
that appears to require VB or VC++. That could restrict him.
