Hi ehsanosmani! I started with Java but to be up front with you from my personal experience, Java is very hard as a first language. However, that being said if you do learn and get good with Java, its a super easy transition to other languages like python and Javascript. Personally I would suggest you start with web development (even if you're going towards a software development path) - First HTML then CSS and then Javascript and branch out from there. The reason for this is HTML is super easy, so is CSS, javascript is a bit more challenging but a great language to have under your belt and can make for an easy transition into Java later. Its like getting your feet wet before outright jumping headfirst into freezing water. But if you're hard headed like me and want to start with the hard stuff, then go for Java. lol, but be warned, it will frustrate the crap out of you, but dont give up! (btw Java and Javascript are 2 different languages regardless of the name). Hope this helps! Super nice to see someone starting to code early! if you stick to it through thick and thin youre going to have a huge edge over other programmers and make a lot of money :) Good luck! Other good Mentions: Python and Ruby as they are very readable!

Python! Always start with Python. It's readable so you can retain your logic skills, requires good spacing for your styling skills, and has so many things built into the language to make it easier.
