I'm not sure how you can claim to build applications with out knowing any of the language. Stay away from youtube videos. You don't know the language so not in a position to know if whats being taught is correct. Just because something compiles does not mean it's correct. Reading the book wont do any harm but i would strongly advise getting a book from atleast 2010.
