While VB.net is way better than previous versions like VB6, I still don't think it is a great language. It teaches you bad habit, and has a weak syntax (IMO).
Personally, I would recommend C#. It has a more modern syntax, is fully object-oriented and is great for RAD.

I started in Visual Basic 6 myself when I was 8 or 9, and used it way too long. I still feel sorry about it.
