There are so many languages that it can be real hard for beginners to decide what to do. I use Ubuntu and ChromeOS. Ubuntu recommends Python and GTK whereas, if I am not wrong, ChromeOS extension and webapps are primarily written in Javascript. I am learning programming currently using Codecademy HTML and CSS tutorials and have to decide what to do next. In order to keep myself focused I want to write a clipboard app. I am not sure what to choose Python or JavaScript.

I built a basic app with web.py that I'm trying to make pretty. I'm thinking I'll need to add some CSS, but I just have no idea where to start.
