I've been using game maker since I could remember. I'm wanting to branch out to something where my skills can contribute to the computer software field at large. I've taken college courses on Java, C#, C, and Visual Basic (oddly no C++).

I've been thinking of getting http://www.amazon.com/Visual-Basic-Game-Programming-Teens/dp/1435458109 just to get my feet wet. I see that the author uses VB with Windows Forms and GDI+.

Is GDI+ still widely compatible (Windows 8, and possibly 10 for instance)?

I really like that the author uses D&D systems for combat, and teaches using VB to create your own editors is another plus.

What do you guys think?

GDI+ is probably not the best choice for game development.  It doesn't perform very well.

I think it would be more beneficial if you continued learning C# and learned Unity. A lot of game companies are developing games with Unity these days.
