that was published in 2005. Is it still relevant?

Yes, it is still relevant. The book says "this book is for you if you’re using Java 5 or Java 6", but It's a very good start to learn core concepts in Java and Object Oriented Programming and then you can look into the added features in Java 7 and Java 8.

I don't have any personal recommendations but if you do a quick google search there's whole host of options for books of all levels of experience.

Amazon.com will stock plenty. If you're looking for credentials check out a range of their reviews. :-) Hope this helps!
