Lua is a powerful, light-weight programming language designed for extending applications. It is also frequently used as a general-purpose, stand-alone language. It combines simple procedural syntax (similar to Pascal) with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, interpreted from bytecodes, and has automatic memory management with garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.
THIS book covers the Java™ Native Interface (JNI). It will be useful to you if
you are interested in any of the following:
• integrating a Java application with legacy code written in languages such as C
or C++
• incorporating a Java virtual machine implementation into an existing application
written in languages such as C or C++
• implementing a Java virtual machine
• understanding the technical issues in language interoperability, in particular
how to handle features such as garbage collection and multithreading
OReilly.Java.Rmithis book provides strategies for working with serialization,
threading, the RMI registry, sockets and socket factories, activation,
dynamic class downloading, HTTP tunneling, distributed garbage
collection, JNDI, and CORBA. In short, a treasure trove of valuable
RMI knowledge packed into one book.
Lua is a powerful, fast, lightweight, embeddable scripting language.
Lua combines simple procedural syntax with powerful data description constructs based on associative arrays and extensible semantics. Lua is dynamically typed, runs by interpreting bytecode for a register-based virtual machine, and has automatic memory management with incremental garbage collection, making it ideal for configuration, scripting, and rapid prototyping.
