I wound up taking a similar approach to learning how to program but rather than VB.NET I dove headfirst into VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) for Microsoft Excel. I think it may have been the perfect intro to scripting, working with spreadsheet data you can easily see what all of the data is that you're working with and you can see what it's actually doing. All of the default libraries are Excel related but it seems like it can be expanded out a bit to include other VB libraries if needed.
I'd definitely recommend this as an intro to programming.

I usually find taking the stairs to be quite uncomfortable when I have blue balls. I would much rather take the lift.
Maybe, say a, a cop?

On behalf of Exxon/Mobil, I'd just like to say that it's about god damn time.
