VB.NET is a good langauge to start with, though there are better languages out there to start with (eg. python, ruby). In the way of better languages, it depends on what you want to do. There are specialist languages and more broad ones to language (eg PHP: website programming, C++: Video Games etc).

Try to make something "business" like, eg: a register program (that's always fun). A Database of products that you can search. Anything is possible. THose were some of the projects I started with when learning VB.NET.
