I don't think you'll find a better intro to the internals than Bill Winners "Inside the JVM": http://www.amazon.com/Inside-Java-Virtual-Machine-Venners/dp/0071350934 Either that or "Programming for the JVM": http://www.amazon.com/Programming-Java-TM-Virtual-Machine/dp/0201309726/ref=pd_sim_b_1
Both are a bit dated, but cover all the basics of instructions, stack frames etc. Some of the stuff are real eye openers, i.e. the difference between a cast and a conversion, and how closely linked the byte code and the (original) Java syntax really is. /Casper Kram wrote: > Firstly I am relatively new to Java only been developing for 2 - 3 > years, which I know isnt a noobie, but not yet seasoned. > > I really enjoyed the latest episode a lot, Ive listened to it a few > times now, and I find the lower level parts of the JVM and bytecode > very interesting. > > Although I didnt understand all of what was said on the posse ep, I > would love to start on a educational journey to learn more about > bytecode and the JVM. > > I was wondering if anyone out there knows of some good, recent books > that they could recommend? > > Thanks! > Mark --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Java Posse" group.
