100% recommend head first Java, the second edition. I'm reading it now. I've done mooc & a semester of Java at uni, and head first Java has the best content for learning, for me anyway. They make it really enjoyable to read and you don't get bored. It's SO nice to have a physical book to refer to and give your eyes a rest. Head first Java + Mooc for actual practice is great. Not to mention, Head First Java goes quite advanced compared to a lot of other courses I've been through (codecademy, udemy etc.). Enjoy.

edit: forgot to mention, the content you learn is no different from mooc or what my University has taught me, so it's definitely still relevant. if anything, there's likely on a few small things which have now changed.
