| What's your guys opinion on the different programming languages? Which ones do you consider simple to use? Complex to use? Advantages and disadvantages on them if any? Tips on those who do not know about programming but willing to learn?

Visual Basic
+ Very, very easy to learn!
+ Very easy to read, almost like English.
- Not very powerful.
- Not very welcomed on this forum.
C++
+ Very powerful.
- Very hard to learn, I'm still trying to learn it.
HTML
+ Very easy.
+ Good for websites.
- Not useful at all for programs.
- Need to learn CSS or XML or whatever else to make better looking websites.
Those are the only three I know/learning.

C++ is not hard, practic is all. Maybe more complex than VB, yes. But not harden. Actually, none is harden, just by practic everything may been seen with others eyes.

Would Java be considered a language? Runescape is all written in Java.

It's amazingly complicated I heard though. Like it makes no sense whatsoever writing it. And it takes years to learn to even make a standalone stick figure with it.

My bro said it's hard, and i just take a night to understand it. It's just annoy at the caps things, you must have to make a perfect cap, like.. jTextField1, if you write jtextfield1 or JTextfield1, it's wrong. Also, from some options.
But for me, it have the same sintasyx as C++. Don't listen to others at that point btw, maybe theys don't have the time and/or dedication to learn it.

Java is almost exactly C#, except for the libraries, and a few minor differences (that I can't name, because I'm only a C# guy).
As a previous poster has said, no language is impossible/really really hard. I picked up C# pretty easily, and it should be just about the same with any language. Google is the best thing that a programmer could ever have--Google for a starting tutorial in Java, and boom. Just keep working on it, whenever you have time, and you've got in the bags.

Hardly. You didn't learn the full language in 3 hours. You created a web browser by following some tutorials, and made some flash trainers. You are far from actually knowing the language and being able to make something worth mentioning with it. I'm not trying to be an ass, but you have a lot to learn before you even want to consider saying you have learned a language.
Java is like any other language as well. It takes time to get used to the language and to be able to write things with it. Some people just understand and handle some languages better then others. Different people click with different languages. Some say 'so-and-so' language is hard but another is easy is simply an opinion because they cannot learn the other language as easily as their first.
The first language you learn will always seem easier then anything you attempt after that, thats more or less so common sense.

It was for me, especially when I learned VB6 first. I'm still having trouble understanding the windows.h library. The only library I understand is the iostream.

windows.h is just a header that includes all most used APIs, Definitions, Typedef's, etc. eg. in Windows.h it calls WinDef.h which has all the definitions like
DWORD (unsigned long)
WORD (unsigned short)
BYTE (unsigned char)
BOOL (int)
etc.
