Best programming language?

Hey,

I'm somewhat interested in programming. I just read the article "What is Code?" for the first time and it's got me interested in finding out a little bit more about coding. What language should I learn first when it comes to figuring out how to code. I'll give some background on myself to help:

I'm currently 26 years old. I went to University where I took an introductory computer science course and got like a 72. The language there was python but I usually don't hear people talking about this language at all in relation to doing any actual work or building anything significant. I also took a python programming class in high school where our final project was to create a program that could consistently beat or draw the user at tic-tac-toe. My project partner did most of the work but I helped out a fair amount and we got a decent grade.

Now I'm interested in writing programs for a variety of uses, also want to know how hard it is to program apps for android and whether I could actually do that or not. Please can someone tell me what language I should try learning if I want to make money from programming sometime in the future and how long it would take?

    I'd second Xamarin and if you have already learned Python and you want to do a WIDE variety of projects I'd suggest C#. A ton load of people sue Java for apps but with c# you can do desktop, net, games and a ton of other things.

    You will also need to understand javascript - its everywhere and a must for programmers doing anything at all on the web.
