Now I know this has no straight forward answer, but i'd like to hear some opinions, along with any experiences you may have. I would like to know what the best language to start off with is. I'm currently learning Java, and have dabbled in html/css. Please, any feedback with this will be greatly appreciated!

it all depends on what you want to program. So many different languages.

Learn C++ or Python. They are both easy to grasp for beginners in my opinion.

Any C based language (C++, C#, Java, PHP, etc) would be a good place to start, as learning one would allow you to pick up the others with relative ease, expanding your capabilities.

They all have a very similar syntax, so it will be fairly easy to switch between them. It would be easier for you to start with C# and move to Java, than it would be for you to start with Python and move to Java, for example.

But really, there is no "best" language. Even VB has its uses in the professional world.

I recommend learning Python first, it helps you get used to the correct syntax and it's really easy to use.

Well it teaches the basics, sure the original guy is a bit of a mug for saying that but it's certainly not too dissimilar from other languages.

in the way that everything has to be in a correct syntax to work, i.e. indentation etc.

Yes, just like literally EVERY other PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE.
