Oh boy!

If you say php sucks, then go get some sleep and think again.

Thats the easiest language any noob can start web development with. Lots of libraries and resources. Just do a search for 'web development tutorial' and you'll find that every 10th good tutorial will be about php. Python is easier than php, but every cheap host supports php.

And another fact: you can even create desktop apps with php. There a GTK extension to php. Google PHP-GTK for more.
