There is no "best programming language". It really depends on what you already know, the type of programmer you are, and the goals of the app you are making.
For machine-based apps I would go with Python, Ruby, or C.
If you want to make graphic apps for OSX, Objective-C is the way to go.
For the web I would go with JavaScript, Python with Django, or Ruby/Rails. Stay away from PHP and Perl. They have their uses, too, but Python and Ruby do the job SO much better, have a better community, and better documentation.
If you don't have much programming skill, I would start with JavaScript and http://codeacademy.com. You'll learn the basics really fast and in a great way. From there, the sky's the limit.
Programming is an art. Painters choose the best brush for the right stroke, languages are the same way. Find the right language and do awesome things with it.
