You think it's easier to have someone become a server/database adminstrator before they start with any programming?
It's a lot easier for a novice to learn some basics in access than to force them to setup and administer a LAMP (or equivalent) server before they even get to the programming part of it. Vbasic can get people into OOP without them even realizing it then you can explain how the things they've been doing in access translate to full scratch-built applications.

You can get a VPS for cheap and never go deeper than setting up a MySQL database in cPanel with a few clicks and an FTP account. If something goes wrong, the hosting company can fix it.

I was wanting to compile all the vocab/kanji I've learned [...]
It really doesn't need to be fancy, it just needs to be able to do sort of what Jaruden's quiz thing did, display a Japanese word and then quiz me on either it's reading or it's English definition.

Sounds like Anki is what you are looking for.

However I did find Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software written by the Gang of Four. It is an excellent book describing many design patterns commonly used in programming. There is also Head First Design Patterns which is a bit more user friendly than the book by the Gang of Four.

Both of those are design patterns more than OOP. As a good book on the topic of Object-Oriented software development, I would recommend Head First Object-Oriented Analysis and Design by an awesome guy named Gary Police. The book will make you laugh, will make you cry (at their bad examples of code), and it will even teach you how many strings there are on a mandolin.
Having said that, I do not think that any of the books would be appropriate for someone who is just starting to learn C++ since all the books assume that the user knows how to program in an Object Oriented Language and the Head First books have all the examples in Java.

the C++ Primer is an excellent beginner book, idk why you would say it isn't. It is how I learned C++
