The Java Virtual Machine is responsible for interpreting Java byte code and translating it into actions. In the beginning, Java was the only programming language used for the JVM. But increasing complexity of the language and the remarkable performance of the JVM created an opening for a new generation of programming languages. If you want to build a strong foundation with the Java Virtual Machine and get started with popular modern programming languages, then this book is for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book will begin with a general introduction of the JVM and its features, which are common to the JVM languages, helping you get abreast with its concepts. It will then dive into explaining languages such as Java, Scala, Clojure, Kotlin, and Groovy and will show how to work with each language, their features, use cases, and pros and cons. By writing example projects in those languages and focusing on each language's strong points, it will help you find the programming language that is most appropriate for your particular needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the end of the book, you will have written multiple programs that run on the Java Virtual Machine and know about the differences between the various languages.\u003c\/p\u003eStyle and approach\u003cp\u003eThis practical, example-filled guide will help you get started with the JVM and some of its most popular languages.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Packt Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47135579701488,"sku":"9781787126589","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781787126589_p0.jpg?v=1763738316","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781787126589","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
