Description

Java programmers at every level will find this easy-to-understand yet technically rich description of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM)-the engine of the Java language-an invaluable tool in writing better and more efficient Java code. Lively text and entertaining Java applets on the included CD-ROM demystify the elusive JVM and explain all aspects of the JVM architecture, facilities and operation-from Java stacks, class files, bytecodes, conversions and verification to the just-in-time compiler implementation of JVM. Complete reference information is also provided for the JVM class file format and all JVM bytecodes.
