Hi John. I have bought your book visual basic games programming for teenagers, for a grandson. Could you advise me on where I can download the resource files please?

Hi Roland.
I let my website expire a few years ago when these books all became so dated. Those teens books are about 13 years old now. I'm not sure if you can even get a version of Visual Basic that will work after so long unless you have an MSDN subscription to where you can get the old versions of the software.
How old is your grandson, by the way? I wrote a much simpler book at the time called Game Programming for Kids. If your grandson is on the lower end of his teen years, then he might not be offended by the word "kid". This book is more usable today because it's based on BASIC and you can get a free version of a basic compiler. I used QB64 for that book.
That being said, if you still want the Visual Basic for Teens sources I can dig them up, but the projects probably won't open in the newest version of Visual Studio.
