I'm new to programming. I've opted to study Java as my first language, and I needed some nice, up-to-date free video courses. the ones present on udemy and coursera are old. am not able to follow up because IDE versions are different.

Personally, I've never found beginner java video tutorials that I would be willing to recommend. At least, the ones that were available when I was learning java taught poor practices, which is dangerous, because people just getting into java wouldn't know better and wouldn't recognizing that they're being taught incorrectly.
As far as books, I do recommend Head First Java (the latest edition). It teaches basic OOP principles very well and contains many mini projects for the reader to practice with, while walking through them.
My best advice to you would be to learn from many different sources, since no one source will ever be able to approach every subject from the angle that will truly make the most sense to you and result in understanding and learning the right things.
Also, just generally, remember that Java is a language, and just like any other language, it has grammar. Just because your code runs doesn't mean it's good code, and if you don't want people to laugh at you and worse yet, struggle to understand what your code is saying, then it is very important to use proper capitalization, spacing, new lines, naming, etc. Very often I see young buds being lazy with their grammar because they think behavior is all that matters. Don't make that mistake. Programming and learning are both collaborative activities, and you'll struggle with both if the people you seek help from are struggling to read what you've written.

Although I've never looked at it personally.
