Java Virtual Machine Review by anonymous
Good but Dated JVM Tutorial
This book provides a good tutorial introduction to the Java Virtual Machine. It even includes an "assembler" so that you can practice writing Java bytecode yourself. Unfortunately, there are no exercises provided so that it takes a great deal of motivation and creativity to write JVM programs that will test your knowledge of the book's material.
But by far the worst problem of this book is that it covers only the very first version of the JVM and the Java language. Now that there are new editions of the JVM spec and language spec, as well as the other JVM tutorial books, the time for updating this book is overdue.
