Here's how you can create a script in Visual Basic to print the words 'Hello World' in a debug window:

1. Open Microsoft Visual Studio and create a new project.
2. Select Visual Basic from the list of project types.
3. Choose Console Application as the template for your project.
4. In the Solution Explorer, right-click on your project and select Add Module.
5. In the new module, add the following code:

```basic
Module Module1
    Sub Main()
        System.Diagnostics.Debug.WriteLine(Hello World)
        Console.ReadLine()
    End Sub
End Module
```

6. Press F5 to run the code.
7. In the Output window, you should see the message Hello World printed.

This will print the words 'Hello World' in the debug window of your Visual Basic project.
I'm brand new to Visual Basic. What should I be learning first?
Microsoft has a great resource for beginners called Visual Basic Fundamentals for Absolute Beginners. This course will teach you the fundamentals of Visual Basic programming over the course of 26 episodes. You will learn concepts applicable to video games, mobile environments, and client applications.

Microsoft also has a tutorial on Visual Basic that you can use to get started. It covers everything from getting started with Visual Basic and .NET Core to building a Hello World application with .NET Core in Visual Studio.

I hope this helps you get started with Visual Basic programming. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Sounds good to me. Lastly, can you give me some examples of real-world applications using Visual Basic programming?
