Is Java the best programming language for a beginner?

Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

Yes, Java is the best programming language for beginners

TheSecretGardener says:

hmmmmm...I say yes and no. Cuz once you learn Java all other languages are easy.

If you have Windows then learning C Sharp not only teaches you to program but it teaches you a lot about Windows operating systems.

Python and Ruby are easy to learn, easy to use and more hosting companies are using them. Java Script is still the web's number one scripting language so sometime or the other you'll have to learn Java.

No, I like another programming language for beginners better...

Samnsparky says:

Python has much more simplified syntax, is normally 5x more concise, and is much more flexible. Java has a lot of things to worry about, which can be overwhelming for first time developers. A good article: http://www.ferg.org/projects/python_java_side-by-side.html
