I think that is what he means, at least that is what I would say. Learn one language well before spreading out.

That is what I meant. I should stop writing replies between compiles.

To give an example on what can be done with Python, look at this article.

I completely agree with this post. Python is the language I'd start with since you have no prior experience. Also, with Python, you can start programing games (though basic), very early in your learning.
