I go to school for CS at Colo State. They have a pretty good program and they're having us use 6th. I honestly don't know what's been updated in 7th but I'm pretty confident you'll be fine with 6th. It's a textbook I actually enjoy reading which is pretty rare.

I started out learning to program through youtube videos. The problem is that they're never as in-depth as text books. If you want to strengthen your tech-fu, get a real text book like "Java: An Introduction to Problem Solving and Programming" by Walter Savitch. Text books can be intimidating because they're more dry than tutorial videos but you will benefit SO much more from them.
Bucky's a big part of why I got excited to learn to program in the beginning. It's a great place to get your feet wet if you're really new. Like I said in my other reply though, don't linger too long on videos. They'll only get you so far.
