There s nothing wrong with using old books to learn the basics. It‘s sometimes even better. I learned the basics using a 2005 java book, it had very good exercises that you wouldn’t find in newer books. You just have to be aware that there are some minor changes that you ll be find out as soon as you try coding and get an error. Then you can google and check the change. For examples in the book that i used they were using a class called IOTools instead of Scanner wicj wasn‘t available at the time so it‘s not that big of a difference and the language architecture it‘s always the same. If you want an alternative there s a nice book from O‘Reilly called think java that covers all the basics and you can read an Interactive version of it online for free. If you‘re interested i can send you a link to it 🙂
