Book Description
The process to transition from being a new Java developer to a confident and competent coder is a difficult one. In this book, author and long-time Java trainer Matt Greencroft guides you through some of the topics that will help you make significant steps along this journey. It is packed with important topics that experienced programmers should know and understand, together with practical advice on how to tune your applications and the JVM to get the best possible performance. Rather than containing a theoretical, highly detailed understanding of the internals of the Java Virtual Machine, this book takes a practical approach. You’ll learn enough to get a good understanding of how the JVM works and how memory is managed in Java, how to make great coding choices, how to configure the JVM, and how to evaluate and benchmark different options to assess their performance metrics in a robust and manageable way. Whether you have an existing application with performance issues to address, have taken one of Matt’s courses and are selecting this book as supporting material, or are simply wanting to advance your career by becoming a better programmer, this book will give you lots of stills and practical experience.

Book Description
Coding and testing are often considered separate areas of expertise. In this comprehensive guide, author and Java expert Scott Oaks takes the approach that anyone who works with Java should be equally adept at understanding how code behaves in the JVM, as well as the tunings likely to help its performance. You’ll gain in-depth knowledge of Java application performance, using the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) and the Java platform, including the language and API. Developers and performance engineers alike will learn a variety of features, tools, and processes for improving the way Java 7 and 8 applications perform. Apply four principles for obtaining the best results from performance testing Use JDK tools to collect data on how a Java application is performing Understand the advantages and disadvantages of using a JIT compiler Tune JVM garbage collectors to affect programs as little as possible Use techniques to manage heap memory and JVM native memory Maximize Java threading and synchronization performance features Tackle performance issues in Java EE and Java SE APIs Improve Java-driven database application performance

Book Description
Java application performance is tied pretty heavily to the underlying Java Virtual Machine, and the new 1.4 version of Java has significant changes that mean previously used performance tips and strategies may no longer work. Significantly revised and expanded, this second edition not only covers Java 1.4, but adds new coverage of JDBC, NIO, Servlets, EJB and JavaServer Pages. Suitable for intermediate and advanced Java developers, this text also covers JDBC, RMI/CORBA, Servlets, JavaServer Pages and custom tag libraries, XML, internationalization, JavaMail, Enterprise JavaBeans and performance tuning. It should be a useful resource for teaching how to create a tuning strategy, how to use profiling tools to understand a program's behaviour, and how to avoid performance penalties from inefficient code, making them more efficient and effective. The result is code that's robust, maintainable and fast.

Book Description
Classic on practical methods of optimizing programs: This book gives practical advice on improving the efficiency (optimizing) programs and the limits there of. While showing how to trade off speed for space or vice-versa, the author points out the limits that can be expected to gain. His list of techniques is a collection of practical approaches rather than theoretical possibilities. At 158 pages (not counting index) this book is eminently readable, accessable and useful. Clearly written and well organized this is a book to keep on your shelf for when a program needs improving. It is also a book to read before a program as a reminder not to make things complicated with optimization that aren't needed.

Book Description
Coding and testing are generally considered separate areas of expertise. In this practical book, Java expert Scott Oaks takes the approach that anyone who works with Java should be adept at understanding how code behaves in the Java Virtual Machine—including the tunings likely to help performance. This updated second edition helps you gain in-depth knowledge of Java application performance using both the JVM and the Java platform. Developers and performance engineers alike will learn a variety of features, tools, and processes for improving the way the Java 8 and 11 LTS releases perform. While the emphasis is on production-supported releases and features, this book also features previews of exciting new technologies such as ahead-of-time compilation and experimental garbage collections. Understand how various Java platforms and compilers affect performance Learn how Java garbage collection works Apply four principles to obtain best results from performance testing Use the JDK and other tools to learn how a Java application is performing Minimize the garbage collector’s impact through tuning and programming practices Tackle performance issues in Java APIs Improve Java-driven database application performance

Book Description
Written by the inventors of the technology, The Java® Virtual Machine Specification, Java SE 7 Edition, is the definitive technical reference for the Java Virtual Machine. The book provides complete, accurate, and detailed coverage of the Java Virtual Machine. It fully describes the invokedynamic instruction and method handle mechanism added in Java SE 7, and gives the formal Prolog specification of the type-checking verifier introduced in Java SE 6. The book also includes the class file extensions for generics and annotations defined in Java SE 5.0, and aligns the instruction set and initialization rules with the Java Memory Model.

Book Description
Java® Performance Companion shows how to systematically and proactively improve Java performance with today’s advanced multicore hardware and complex operating system environments. The authors, who are all leading Java performance and Java HotSpot VM experts, help you improve performance by using modern software engineering practices, avoiding common mistakes, and applying tips and tricks gleaned from years of real-world experience. Picking up where Charlie Hunt and Binu John’s classic Java Performance left off, this book provides unprecedented detail on two powerful Java platform innovations: the Garbage First (G1) garbage collector and the HotSpot VM Serviceability Agent. Coverage includes Leveraging G1 to overcome limitations in parallel, serial, and CMS garbage collection Understanding each stage of G1 GC collections, both young and old Getting under the hood with G1 and efficiently fine-tuning it for your application Identifying potential optimizations, interpreting experimental results, and taking action Exploring the internals of the HotSpot VM Using HotSpot VM Serviceability Agent to analyze, triage, and resolve diverse HotSpot VM issues Troubleshooting out of memory errors, Java level deadlocks, and HotSpot VM crashes Extending the Serviceability Agent, and using the Plugin for VisualVM Mastering useful HotSpot VM command line options not covered in JavaTM Performance Java® Performance Companion can help you squeeze maximum performance and value from Java with JDK 8 or 9–for any application, in any environment.
