Tutorials are presented as videos, making them easy to follow / see what's going on at each step. Many people find this format less daunting and easier to take in than traditional text based tutorials.
The first video explains how to setup Python on your machine. A lot of tutorials tell you about the language but leave you in the dark on how to get it up and running, creating a stumbling block before the first post.
It looks easy because of the syntax, and because BASIC and Visual Basic (pre .NET) had the reputation of being simple languages. But VB.NET is every bit as subtle and complex as e.g. C#, it's just that the complexity is mostly hidden from you. It can look like an advantage, but it doesn't help you learn how the .NET platform works, and when it breaks, it's not easy to understand why.
Some bad things that VB.NET does:
implicit conversions everywhere (unless you enable Strict mode) that hide potential issues
Default Form instances: the single most aberrant feature of .NET, here just to let you think that you don't need to know anything about OOP
ByRef and out parameters are implicit at the call site, so it's never obvious when the argument can be changed by the callee
And I could go on...
Learning VB.NET will only give you bad habits.
If you want to learn a .NET language, learn C#. The community is much larger and much more active. It's also much easier to find documentation, get help, etc. Most open-source .NET projects are in C#, not in VB.NET
