I am an amateur Java programmer.I also know Python and HTML basics.I`m recently interested in the new windows 10.I just want you professionals to suggest me a language to start to become a windows developer.
Thanks
This question doesn't really conform to StackOverflow question format (since its opinion based), but I will answer it anyway.
From my personal experience windows developers mainly use .NET languages (ASP.NET, C#, Visual Basic) although Windows 10 has support for these to use the full potential of Windows 10 you would use C++.
Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 is one of the only IDE's to take windows 10 to its full advantage.
Since MSVS 2015 has all the templates for Windows 10 apps, you can create desktop and mobile applications with it.
I think you should Learn .Net languages and framework.
Try C#...
it is very similar to Java and in your case you can learn it easier.
the whole windows is based on .net technologies and it's related languages.
Good luck.

I know that mono exists, but just recently Microsoft released (I think) support for platforms other than windows [source]. If I wanted to start using FSharp on my OS X machine, how would I get started? Is that even possible yet?
At the moment, mono is the way to go - if you download mono and Xamarin Studio, you get a pretty good environment for doing F# on Mac. See the F# on Mac page on F# Foundation.
The fact that Microsoft is open-sourcing .NET and making it available on Mac too will be great in the longer term - it is already helping mono (because they replaced some of their libraries with the open-sourced versions from Microsoft) and it just gives additional guarantee that F# will work great on Mac and other platforms. But at the moment, this is quite early - and mono is already pretty high quality implementation of the runtime.

We contracted a guy to build .net app. His team is in India, and am afraid they may not have licensed softwares their, which may eventually get us in troubles.
Is their anyway I can tell if the end product he deliver was developed with licensed Visual Studio ?
I'm not sure there actually is - especially because Visual Studio itself doesn't compile the code, if it's C# then its the CSC.exe (VBC.exe for Visual Basic) file that does the work and that itself comes with the .Net framework and is free.

Are there any free tools for developing VB.NET applications?
Microsoft tools have express versions which are free:
http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/eng/products/visual-studio-express-products
If you are not willing to go for microsoft product then here is an awesome product for you which is open source and much less in size:
It is called Sharp Develop:
http://www.icsharpcode.net/opensource/sd/ [Download and Info link]
Microsoft Visual Studio Community (Visual Studio Express) is a free and full-featured IDE for building apps for Web, Windows Store, Windows Desktop, and even Android and iOS using programming languages including C#, C++, HTML/JavaScript, and Visual Basic.
https://www.visualstudio.com/en-us/products/visual-studio-express-vs.aspx
But its only licensed to use for academic/ research kind projects. See the terms:
https://www.visualstudio.com/support/legal/dn877550
A good free IDE is available from CodePlex, called SharpDevelop.
https://sharpdevelop.codeplex.com/releases/view/111370
But you still need to make sure the controls used in your projects are licenced.

I want to ask other developers about Visual Studio 11.
I'm currently using VS2010 SP1 and some components like DevExpress. All of them is compatible with VS11.
In my situation, i am able to handle all errors during this beta period and i can accept that. But, to be more clear, to deploy my outputs (exe/dll .NET 4.0) to other machines (like customers) do you recommend to use of Visual Studio 11?
Is there any limitation(s) or other things on VS11 and/or deployed / build outputs?
I know, it is BETA but in BETA stage is it safe to use it as a default IDE instead of VS2010.
If I use VS11 I will probably still use .NET 4.0 but not 4.5 Beta.
I liked the new things and IDE interface style of VS11 so its attract me -very much-.
More importantly, do you use it on production?
I'm currently using it as a production tool but only when targeting .Net 4.0 and below. So far I have not found any issues. I wouldn't recommend it for a production environment if you are compiling against .Net 4.5.
Microsoft however does offer production support. You can read more about it here:

Hope it helps!

One of my friends is making commercial program in vb6 , is there any license required to sell the application to end user. He is having vb6 developer license.
From the VB6 manual
You can freely distribute any application you create with Visual Basic to anyone who uses Microsoft Windows
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa716256(VS.60).aspx
If you have used third-party controls or other components, you must check whether you can distribute them. This link lists some Microsoft controls that you can redistribute.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/vbasic/ms788708.aspx
There are no specific license requirements for VB6 applications that I know of. All that's important is that current operating systems ship with the VB6 runtimes, and for the moment that is true. The VB6 runtime comes pre-installed all the way up to Windows Server 2008 R2. There's a ton of useful information for your friend here:
Support Statement for Visual Basic 6.0 on Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 and Windows 7
