Bad tutorial. Get a textbook.

integer > math
floating point >decimals
variable > names some object, a constant, a string or letters, etc.
strings > string of characters, as in letters,numbers,most symbols.

This is the easy stuff senpai, buck up and study.

Is Python worth learning if you already know JavaScript, Ruby, C, et al?

Python is actually pretty good if you want to do some basic projects or something that has been done before, but if your project involves intimate communications over serial or socket, packing/unpacking of structures and maybe hardware access, I'll suggest against using Python.

There is some basic stuff that takes you 1 min to do in Python but 20 mins in C++, but then there are some low level complex stuff that takes 2 mins to do in C++, but 4-5 hours in Python.

System.out.printlln("Hello, World!");

Whew lad so so easy right? :^)

Now design your very own unique program.

OP, if you decide that the tutorial you're now following is not worth your time, take a look at
http://mooc.fi/courses/2013/programming-part-1/

It's hand down the best introduction to programming I've ever seen. It has also been endorsed in somewhat many /g/ threads. Java might not be sexy, NetBeans is not the holy grail of IDEs and the course comes from some random Finnish university but goddamn it's a good one. Do both parts and I guarantee that you're a better programmer than millions of pajeets already. I also did the Clojure course, albeit being a shorter one, it's a good intro to functional programming.
