I have a university book that a friend of mine gave me so I can learn Java. It's a great book and I like it a lot. I have also used Visual Basic.Net Express Edition a year ago and found it ok and the Microsoft tutorials were ok too. I'm not a programmer, I don't know what I really want to do, I just want to make some simple GUI programs for Windows so that I can see what I can do with the language. Like make a simple program that asks you questions.
I have used python but I don't like it as much. I'm either going to pick one of these two. I can't always stop like this I have to just study one language at a time. I'm in chapter two of my book which is very long and it seems to be going good so far. I just want to know if VB.net would be better cause I just want to learn programming quick and I want to learn one that's easy.
For now this will be a hobby so I want it to be something I can do easily. Then I'll see if I really want to do this as a career cause I have considered it before.

If you want some easy to program windows based GUI programs then VB.net is the way to go. VB.net is even used in many professional programs, so it's not a bad thing to learn. When your ready you can try to take the plunge into java, but that language has a high learning curve as opposed to VB.net.

Both languages will help you find a good job.
But, ONLY you can determine which one is easier to learn, so try them both.
