Java Virtual Machine Review by Goldin Evgeny
Very good intro
If you're just entering the JVM aspects - that's a good place to start, I think. The JVM explained in a simple, not confusing manner, the book can easily be read by anyone. Then you might go to read the full "JVM Spec" from Sun. 4 stars for authors spend too much place describing Jasmin ( JVM assembler they wrote ) - tell me, who needs it ? I hardly imagine anybody writing bytecodes in assembly. *Reading* bytecodes is something else, I do it on a daily base - but let's leave the job of creating them to javac.
One special "thank you" is for "Appendix A" where all JVM instructions are nicely listed by the function group. I browse it the most.
