patisake: "beginning game programming" books are generally crap. Learn C++ from Stroustrup's book.
Or from the standford free videos see this link http://see.stanford.edu/see/lecturelist.aspx?coll=2d712634-2bf1-4b55-9a3a-ca9d470755ee

Worked on titles: CMR:DiRT2, DiRT 3, DiRT: Showdown, GRID 2, theHunter, theHunter: Primal, Mad Max, Watch Dogs: Legion

It doesn't matter so much. You will probably need years of experience before you can make the games you want to make. And in that time you can and should learn a few different languages. I'd say start with Python, because it is way easier to get started with. If you like programming at all you can learn a new language later, when you know more.
Are there some good python tutorials for beginning or free ebooks?
what are the advantage of python language?
I haven't read it, but there is this book: http://www.greenteapress.com/thinkpython/ which seems nice.

The advantages of Python is that it is easy to learn, and that there is an interactive interpreter for it. That means that you can type in experssions and statements into the interpreter and have it execute them immediately and show you the result, so you can try things out and get feedback instantly. It is also a bit more high-level than C and Java, etc. so you can get more done in less time and with less code.
I heard that some game engine and animation software for game devolpment use python..is this correct?
and what is the difference between ruby program language and python?
