Java Performance Tuning

Course Overview
Hi everyone. My name is Tim Ojo, and I'd like to welcome you to my Pluralsight course on Java Performance Tuning. Java is one of the most popular programming languages in the world. It provides ease of use, automatic memory management, portability, safety, security, and an excellent ecosystem. But is it fast? And the answer is yes. For several workloads, Java's performance is on par with or even exceeds C++. But getting the best performance out of Java requires some skill and knowledge of how computers works, how the Java virtual machine works, and how to structure applications correctly. That's why this course exists. In this course, you'll discover tools and techniques for analyzing the performance of your application and troubleshooting performance issues, tools such as Java Profilers, Java Mission Control, jcmd, and JMeter. You'll learn about the JVM internals that influence performance such as the different garbage collection and JIT compilation options and how to tune them. And you'll gain best practices for writing high-performing application code. By the end of this course, you'll advance your mastery of the Java language and ecosystem and be equipped with the skills and knowledge needed to get the best performance out of your application. Before beginning this course, you should be fairly proficient in writing Java applications already. Beginner courses in the Java skill path on Pluralsight will help give you the foundation you need. I hope you'll join me for this fun and enlightening look at Java Performance Tuning. Thank you.
