I recommend JavaScript.
Seconded. Especially if you want to work in a C-like language like Java, C/C++, PHP, &c. because you'll get used to the syntax.
Python is... less than great for that sort of thing; you'll get too used to not using brackets, semicolons, &c. After using Python for ever just a short time and going back to PHP or Javascript, I've accidentally left them out.

Good in:
Python
C/++
Java
Decent in:
HTML, PHP, CSS
I far prefer application development to web development. I began with Java, but then switched over mostly to C++ due to Java's massive overhead.
Edit: I agree with the above post. JS is a nice mix between having syntax similar to more powerful languages, ease of not compiling, and flexibility of being a web-based language that easily melds with other languages (HTML, CSS, PHP).

There's also downright hilarious directions on how to shoot yourself in the foot with various languages.
Usual disclaimer: do not attempt, etc. It's funnier if you know the language in question.

Python! You can actually read it!
This is helloworld in python, with a pause at the end:
print "Hello, World!" raw.input("Press Enter: ")

Python is super easy...only it's not web supported.

Like, in HTML, there is no way to implement Python. I suppose if you had an applet, it COULD work, but...

It is server-side enabled, though.
You can always convert it to JS with something like Pyjamas.

Oh I thought you meant language support. There is a ton of that.
And check out the bottle module.

An, just curious, what is the best Java tutorial? I think it's time I learned an application language.

I quite like this one. It's probably not the best tutorial there is but it's fun

I highly recommend the tutorials by TheNewBoston. I followed his tutorials for Java, and I hope to do so as well for iOS development and HTML5 Canvas.

In order of the ones I know the most:
Scratch
Python
Batch (good for pranking people)
Javascript
Lua
Ruby
