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++

ok.. thanks i appreciate the reply..

Yeah, I myself learnt VB then C# (works sorta similar to VB but with C++ style code) then 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++

[jbennet]

yeah, but VB is good for

a: getting people into programming without scaring them away

b: learning the basic techniques such as OOP, functions etc...

>learning the basic techniques such as OOP
VB.NET. Not the (old) Visual Basic.

[jbennet]

still has some classes

[~s.o.s~]

Old VB was an object based language, not an object oriented one. There is a major difference you know.
