Mastering the Java Virtual Machine

Part 1: Understanding the JVM

Embarking on our journey, we unravel the fundamental workings of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and its pivotal role in executing Java applications. We then explore the intricate structure of Java class files, delving into bytecode, constant pools, and class loading processes. Transitioning further, our focus turns to decoding the language of the JVM, and its impact on the execution of Java programs. These introductory chapters set the stage for a progressive exploration into the depths of JVM intricacies, laying a solid foundation for mastering the JVM.

This part has the following chapters:

And this book will deliver what it promises, you start with Part 1, giving a great view of what we have inside the Java Virtual Machine (or JVM), giving a lesson on how it works, the class structure, bytecode.Then we will talk about Memory, going through how the Execution Engine works, how the JVM deals with Memory, we will talk about Garbage Collection and which one to use and when, how to deal with Memory Profiling, and here you will have a lesson on how How this whole part works and how you can use it to your advantage, with indications of extra reading that will expand your horizons about dealing with memory and GC in Java.Then you will explore the multiple flavors of JVM that you will find out there, such as GraalVM, Eclipse J9, Azul Zulu, Amazon Corretto, and so on. This topic is important for you to understand the diversity of this ecosystem and how it can help you.And it will end with some advanced topics to talk about Reflection and Annotation and also giving a great look at Frameworks.

Great book with step by step guides to use the JVM We all know how early Java had security flaws and issues. This provides comprehensive details about how to get to the next level, empowering your JVM solutions to deliver custom, secured applications. The real power in Java is in the write once, run anywhere methodology that supports multiple functions while maintaining consistent code base, recommend for anyone running any JVM implementations.

I'm already annoyed by the overuse of the words "seamless" and "pivotal". Everything is f...ign pivotal and seamless in this book. Generally author's vocabulary seems pretty limited, you'll read certain words over and over again until you can't take it anymore. The book is full of obsolete filler passages that gain you absolutely nothing — you're constantly educated that knowing this and that makes you master in dealing with xy, in some places quite laughable remarks even. There are plenty of them. I made it to page 40 and such unprecedented level of utmost poor, repetitive language feels almost infuriating at this point.
