Best first programming lang: Python, Java, C#/++?

I have quite a bit of experience with front-end development (html, css, js), but I want to expand. I've dabbled in all of these mentioned languages, but what do you guys suggest focusing my attention on first for mastery?
* I want to develop full and all-encompassing apps/programs by myself. Android is based in java, but with xamarin you can program in c# and it will compile for ios/android/Windows phone appropriately.
* I love messing around with rPi's, whose native language is python, so I have more experience with that than anything else, but it's more plug and play knowledge from specific tutorials than actual baseline up knowledge.
* I guess my question is: Which programming language mastery gives me the best jump into app/program development with a solid base to learn other languages more efficiently?

10 programming languages for 2014
quote:
To check my informal analysis, I also looked at InterviewStreet.com, a tool used by a growing number of employers to screen for potential programming talent. Its coding challenges cover 16 different programming languages, including C, C++, Java, C#, Python, PHP, Ruby, Perl, Javscript, Haskell, Scala, Clojure, SQL, MySQL, R and Go. As you can see, there are a number of newer languages here as well as the old chestnuts.

Visual Basic
Then java
Then anything you want.

I would go the C++ route. I got C++ certified in 10th grade. It was a good starting point.

there is strong belief that you miss something by learning only the newer fancier languages. C gives you insight to actual code.

C++ is the best language to learn as a base for all other languages imo. Python would be a good intro language but since you know some javascript and want to do app dev then I would say skip it. I've never tried doing any Android development but I've messed around with Objective-C and IOS dev and there are some really good tutorials on IOS dev. Just pick a pet project and get to working.
