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.
