You want to get straight into coding, but instead what you're doing is posting on a forum for a discussion for recommendations for a tutorial? Are you also scheduling a meeting to discuss the procedure for gathering a committee to plan lunch? ;)

I mean, I don't think you're deliberately being misleading, but it feels a lot like you're saying one thing, yet doing another. Just out of curiosity really, why haven't you already Googled and started - what are you holding off and waiting for? It would take, what, 10 minutes to Google a Java tutorial and open https://repl.it/languages/java and get some text printed, right?

I learn better by experimenting with other people’s code than by a textbook [..] I’m looking for recommendations of textbooks

mmhmm.
