Same - I stole my friend’s VB6 textbook in high school and couldn’t put it down. Transferred into CS classes the next day.

I used to go through PSC and download anything that looked interesting, and I would read the code to figure out how it worked. Learned so much from there! VB6 for apps, ASP for web.

Did he at least get the book back? The one time I ever let anyone borrow my books, was a HTML 4 book, and I got it back in such a poor state I never did again.
He did! I think I borrowed it over a weekend and that was all the convincing I needed
