VB is a bit of a beginners language. It and java are a bit slow for making big games. Thats why basically all big games are made in C++. The VB books are there to teach you the fundementals so that you can then go on and learn C++

I followed this exact same route accept i never got deep into VB.

If you want a "real job" with creating games then learn C++

VB.NET. Not the (old) Visual Basic.

Old VB was an object based language, not an object oriented one. There is a major difference you know.
I don't accept change; I don't deserve to live.

Jo Tujhe Jagaaye, Nindein Teri Udaaye Khwaab Hai Sachcha Wahi.
Nindon Mein Jo Aaye Jise To Bhul Jaaye Khawab Woh Sachcha Nahi.
Khwaab Ko Raag De, Nind Ko Aag De
