It depends on what you are starting out in.
If it's programming, I would definitely recommend putting Java aside and
tinkering with Python tutorial examples and pyGame demo programs.
I now find (too late I'm afraid) that Python as a language does a really good
job of offloading boring syntactic details and library issues off one's head.
It feels very concise. As a consequence, when writing in Python I tend to
think more of what I'm trying to accomplish, rather than of how to get around
language limitations and wade through syntactic jungles to make something
work. This, I feel, is even more important to a beginner.
