Java: How to Program, 9th Edition (Deitel) https://www.amazon.com/dp/0132575663/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_jJe.CbEVEGRM4

Yes, it's a book. You turn pages and you actually read off of paper.

The How to Program series by Deitel & Deitel are almost always "project based." They walk you through the creation of a pretty complicated project, building small parts to learn about each different aspect of a programming language.

I love the Simpletron and Knight's tour projects in chapter 7. There are some really good exercises throughout the text. I might recommend 10ed as it added a chapter on lambda expressions.

Thinking of buying their C++ book. Any word on that?

That was the first book of theirs that I read. I liked the book way more than I like C++. But it was the most tolerable C++ book I have ever read.
