What is the best programming language to develop applications

Please advice both for desktop and web applications.

What are the advantages of learning C++

I really want to learn programming, but I’m having a little trouble with it. I tried learning C and C++, but it got frustrating trying to learn some of the things, like pointers. Should I learn an easier language first? If so, which one? Also, the main thing I want to learn is game programming.

I am currently familiar with Java, web based languages and some older programming languages but I want to start learning C++ mainly for game development. Can any C++ programmer here help me out as to downloading a good IDE and compiler to start off with? Thanks.

I’m interested in learning C# but I’m the kind of person who prefers learning from a tangible book rather than multiple sources scattered around the web. I prefer to use those as secondary sources.

I have some experience with the C language. I can write simple programs with user defined functions and understand the basic construction of a C program, however, I still consider myself novice.

I have absolutely no experience with an object oriented language though. What would you suggest as a good primary source to pick up at say Amazon and why?
