C series languages in general are harder to learn for people with no background in programming (when i went to college you would learn Pascal first, then C, then C++), but overall they are not that difficult, it just requires time to learn.
VB is a good language for simple applications like frontend tools, but not really designed for more indepth projects, but it's perfect for quick and dirty projects.
I'd say stick to C++, it's more effort, you are NOT going to get a good grasp of it in 3 days, but it'll come in time. There have been a few developers that picked up C++ programming specificlly because of this project, so just know it's been done before.
