I've played around with Visual Basic, Basic some years ago. Then the last couple of years I've learned Javascript and PHP when I'm doing websites. So the scripting part for me is all selftaught. However, what I have found most valuable when learning scripts is the script documentation. It is allways close at hand. You can get the documentation for Windows Script (JScript and VBScript) from here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=01592C48-207D-4BE1-8A76-1C4099D7BBB9&displaylang=en
For the graphics and design. That's something I've allways done. Sparetime hobby, study and work. I assume you have looked at the tutorial here at WC? https://www.wincustomize.com/articles.aspx?CID=154
