I guess it's a matter of specifics. What do you want to do with .NET?

I'd recommend jumping in on a project where you're doing back-end development as it minimizes the quantity of UI-specific logic and rules you have to learn at the same time (which can be significant both with ASP .NET and with XAML-based apps).

You could try a console app or an API project like negue suggested.

The biggest things that will help you learn .NET are learning the syntax of writing classes and methods, followed by learning the basics of collections, generics, and LINQ. You'll likely need to add databases to the mix as well, but these things should give you a firm foundation.
