That isn't an application for anyone "just starting out with programming" - you need to get the basics sorted out long before you attempt anything that complex.
Having said that, there is no "best language" for any project - it will always depend on the languages the development team are competent in, as well as the environment the application is to run in. Learning a new language can be relatively trivial - the syntax of C# can be learned in an afternoon for example - but becoming competent in it can take months, or even years in some cases due to the complexity of the framework it depends on.

So pick a language that your course covers and learn that well, practicing everything as you go. And don't try to run before you can walk!
