My ideal thing i want to do is make a sports computer Simulation game and i was just wondering with this book how long would it take to make a sports simulation game after i read this book?

I imagine you'll be able to do a simple text game but you aren't going to be programming a fancy 3d game if 24 hours. My advice: don't set your goals too high right off the bat - you'll just get disappointed. Get a hold on the language with simple programs from the book and then work your way up to more complex programs. Usually the beginning books don't touch on graphics too much - you've got to learn the core of the language first. You'll probably have to find a book on OpenGL or Direct3d graphics if you want to get into graphics, otherwise a text based game shouldn't be too difficult..
