I’m new to programming and gave VB.NET a try. I (almost) finished a project (using VB.NET Express 2010) and now I’d like to rewrite it in HTML5 or CSS or Javascript or AJAX, or embedded Flash. Which one would you recommend? Which one as those 5 would be easier to learn for someone with some vb.net experience?

If you've already created a project with VB.Net, then the logical step to "web enable" that app would be to head along the ASP.Net route using VB for the code behind. MS has their take on AJAX (basically a set of Java libraries) with which you can extend the functionality of your ASP.Net app and you may well find that there is even more functionality you can add with Javascript (e.g JQuery)
My advice - stick with what you know and the tools you've used for the moment, expand your knowledge and tools when you find either (or both) don't allow you to achieve what you want to achieve.

Thanks, Menthos. This is what I'm trying to do (I'm "Joe" in that post): Got an app, need some help | Intel AppUp(SM) developer program I'm a gambler and I'd love to give it a try. So what would be your advice now that you know the circumstances?
While ASP.Net incorporate all those technologies, apart from Flash of course, it does not sound as server pages is eligible in that contest, it is for apps that can run in AppUp only. From what I can see Intel AppUp has support for .Net development through a SDK, see New AppUp Support for .NET | Intel AppUp(SM) developer program. I don't think the supported WinForms/WPF application types is relevant though.
Nope, it doesn't look like WinForms/WPF application types would qualify for that contest, otherwise Hal G. (the guy from Intel that answered my post) would have mentioned it. So back to my question: "Which one as those 5 would be easier to learn for someone with some vb.net experience?" My guess is CSS, since to learn HTML5 one needs HTML and CSS (which makes HTML5 more complex). But I dunno about AJAX. About 20 days left ..
