Quite a good book to undertand java, I would surely recommend to any one who wants to learn java, once he has basci concepts, he should once go thru this book to get the working clear, it is quite an good book, well written and useful concepts

Great book. Must read.
1. Book turns most interesting from chapter 5.
2. For anyone who wants to write byte code manipulation, understand various memory areas - this is the book you should look into.

The book is actually Second Edition and the quality of the book is good. I bought from the seller BookPeckerBangalore and the delivery was done as promised. Thanks.

This book is an unique book, which gives us every detail of the JVM. A blog said that Class File loading chapter is miss leading in this book. But I don't think so.

This book is essential for a programmer who is very concern about JVM internal (example, for an Hadoop programmer, programmer building an app with lots of threads and facing memory shortage issues etc).

Super book for advance internal features. It is vary good to keep and keep reading.
This is a must have book for every architect.

Nice book to follow specially for Java lovers. But Class Loader Subsystem is quite controversially described. Other wise a fab

Very good which a java programmer should read. Architectural level of concepts on Java virtual machine. Bill venners books always great and with a differenrt touch & view to the technology.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................
