Does anyone have any good book recommendations or links for insider knowledge of the JVM/Java? If Clojure focused all the better :)

- kaba0 3y agoThere is JVM Anatomy Quarks. I can also recommend reading the JVM specification itself, it is surprisingly not as dry as one might think, and not a novel, it’s a good read. Oh and of course anything written by Brian Goetz, usually about some new feature.
- alex3305 3y agoMaybe it's not really up your alley. But I learned Java with the Java in Action with BlueJ [1]. Although it's pretty basic, the text book really explains all the Java (and OOM) basics in a pretty clear way. The book is called Objects First [2]. In addition I really enjoyed exploring the JDK documentation. Especially Java <1.7 is extremely manageable. Java 8 introduced NIO and lambda's which make Java way more fun, but also a tad harder to learn. It's not exactly JVM, but just wanted to share anyway :). 1. https://www.java.com/en/java_in_action/bluej.jsp https://www.java.com/en/java_in_action/bluej.jsp 2. https://www.bluej.org/objects-first/ https://www.bluej.org/objects-first/
