JVM Performance Engineering: Inside the OpenJDK Hotspot VM

Inside Java SE 9 teaches experienced programmers exactly how to take full advantage of Java SE 9’s major, long-awaited improvements. Java Champion Monica Beckwith relies on extensive sample code reflecting real-world use cases to illustrate Java SE 9’s key features and functions, and demonstrate the benefits of utilising them.

Beckwith shows how Java’s new module system ( Project Jigsaw ) enables working developers to build solutions that scale easily from tiny devices to large and complex libraries; are more secure and maintainable; and deliver exceptional performance. She reviews Java SE 9 changes in areas ranging from data types and packages to classes and interfaces, showing how to make the most of Java’s new tools and facilities.
