I need to program something

I haven't coded in a while. Only know C++ but forgeting more as the seconds tick by. Anyway, I need to make a program that runs in windows, has buttons and can display output in the same window. I'm thinking VB.net would be good for the job since I don't want to write my own gui, but I don't know VB. I'm having problems linking the logic of the code with the gui actions. Someone recommend a book that'll get me going, or better yet a free link. I don't need to know about for loops. Or if you have an idea about a different language I should use I'm all ears.

The paradigm you need to learn is "event driven programming". It's necessary to understand this well because it is what nearly all the toolkits use.
