Today's incoming students are more likely to be exposed to Java than ever before. Focusing on a modern architecture (the Java Virtual Machine, or JVM), this text provides a thorough treatment of the principles of computer organization in the context of today's portable computer. Students are given simple but realistic examples to gain a complete understanding of how computation works on such a machine. Juola makes the material useful and relevant in a course that is often difficult for second-year CS students.

Features + Benefits

. Flexible, convenient presentation  - The JVM is not a physical chip but a piece of software found on every computer in the world, so students can write and run their exercises on any computer without worrying about compatibility; ideal for commuter or distance education, or schools with limited resources.

 

. Focus on the JVM Language - Explains how the Java language actually causes things to happen.

 

. Presentation of alternate architectures - Compares the JVM to the original IBM-PC chip, the Pentium, the Power PC, and an embedded controller chip to explore how other computers express the same principles.

 

. Principle-based approach - Allows transfer between machines.

 

. Multi-Language Examples - Integrate several computer operating systems, including Windows, Linux, Mac, BeOS and Solaris; students do not need a prior understanding of Java.

 

. Tested code examples - Eliminates errors that could confuse students.

 

. Optional chapters that are tunable to individual equipment.

 

. Key Issues - Summarizes each chapter with a brief review of important concepts.
