DESCRIPTION:
In all, Inside the Java 2 Virtual Machine serves as both a tutorial and reference to the architecture and inner operation of JVMs for any technically astute reader who wants to understand how Java really works. For the advanced Java developer, Inside the Java 2 Virtual Machine offers a detailed guide to the inner workings of today's Java Virtual Machines (JVMs), plus a complete reference to all bytecodes (the "machine code" for the language). The later part of this text covers over 200 Java bytecodes (mnemonic instructions for the JVM) by groups, and the book closes with a full listing of these opcodes (with over 150 pages of material). The author demonstrates superior knowledge of Sun's Java Virtual Machine specification and explains the principles of its design and implementation, including a full explanation of how actual byteco
This new edition contains a new chapter providing a tutorial on using native methods with the JNI (Java Native Interface) specification. The CD-ROM contains source code examples from the book, interactive illustrations, Java Development Kit, and a resources Web site.. A manual on the Java 1.2 virtual machine
Good to decorate your shelves This book spends too much paper explaining the Java history and why it is a good programming language. It is very, very boring. The advanced stuff begins after chapter 3, but they are not well explained. Well, all I can say is I really regret having bought this book, and I do not recommend it to any expirienced and short-in-time Java programmer like me.. A little fluffy. Gerard Guillemette This book is somewhat less terse and succint than other books I've read. I don't have tons of time to read so appreciate short books that get to the point. This book was a little thicker than it needed to be. I like it but "Programming for the Java Virtual Machine" by Engel and O'Reilly's "Java Virtual Machine" are somewhat better books and thinner. PFTJVM has some. Long on Words, Short on Details As the author himself states, the first four chapters of the book are merely a "broad overview of Java's architecture". The majority of this material should be familiar to Java programmers. I was so bored that I skipped ahead to chapter five. The next five chapters are a little better, but again much of the material is basic Java architecture including class loadin
