eBook Description:

Mastering the Java Virtual Machine: An in-depth guide to JVM internals and performance optimization. Delve into JVM inner workings and explore internals, memory management, and performance optimization.

Mastering the Java Virtual Machine is a comprehensive guide that will take you into the heart of Java programming, guiding you through the intricate workings of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and equipping you with essential skills to become a proficient Java developer.

You’ll start by understanding the JVM, exploring its architecture and how it executes Java code. Through detailed explanations and real-world examples, you’ll gain a deep understanding of JVM internals, enabling you to write efficient and optimized Java applications.

As you progress, you’ll delve into memory management and execution, unraveling the complexities of heap and stack management, garbage collection, and memory profiling. You’ll learn how memory is allocated and reclaimed in the JVM, as well as how to optimize memory usage and identify performance bottlenecks in your applications. With this knowledge, you’ll be able to create Java programs that are not only robust but also highly performant.

• Understand JVM architecture and bytecode execution
• Explore memory management and optimize memory usage
• Compare and evaluate alternative JVMs like GraalVM
• Master reflection for dynamic behavior in Java applications
• Utilize Java annotation processors for code generation
• Get to grips with reactive programming principles for scalable applications

By the end of this Mastering the Java Virtual Machine book, you’ll have the skills needed to excel in Java programming, writing efficient, maintainable code.
