I agree, I have "SAMS teach yourself Internet Programming with VB 6 in 21 days (It were 3 days for me but what the hell ).

I was kinda dissapointed, but not in the quality of the book, I just misunderstood the Subject, it's more about ActiveX and CGI on the server-side than VB windows programming with internet capabilities (altough it has some chapters about it)
But I still do recommend the SAMS... books!

Oh okay, i'll try that book then and see how it goes.

C++? I thought it would be harder to learn how to make a game with that.
