Catfish_Man:
Heh. I work on WebKit some... designing a web browser from the ground up is not a project you would want to do. Rendering the broken HTML out on the web is an absolutely nightmarish task; Huge methods full of if(/*some condition that should never happen in a sane world, like 500 nested < b > tags*/) { /*fucked up hack */ } over and over. Then you've got security to worry about, and the fact that the modern web relies on about 20 different ambiguous 50+ page specs, plus attempting to mimic Internet Explorer's bugs for quirks mode, and then you have to try to make it go fast.
That said, once someone else has done the hard part of getting it working, it's actually a rather fun project.
Scytale:
Can't you just use one of the opensource html rendering engines?
Konqueror's engine is supposed to be pretty good.
edit: Never mind just looked up what WebKit was, I feel like a tool now...

If you want an interesting challenge, try implementing some graph theory algorithms. They can be done relatively easily in C# and Java (compared to, say, C, where you have to do lots of ugly pointer-chasing), and they can be quite easy to visualise. If you want to be a gun coder, you need to build up knowledge of algorithms like this so that you can apply them to solving common problems efficiently.
Another good thing to do is learn about dynamic programming.

Start small, always start small...
Visual C# Express is an IDE... Nothing to do with the language. You can use C# in that, you can use Sharp Develop, hell, use UltraEdit. I think you are mixing and matching the GUI stuff with the code itself.
VB, imo, is an amalgamation of some busted-ass GUI stuff, a horrible language with bad grammar, and event-driven crap tying it together.
C# can be just code.
