This course aims to help learners understand and solve memory leaks in the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). By the end of the course, students will be able to diagnose common scenarios causing OutOfMemoryError, utilize tools for detecting memory leaks, and analyze the anatomy of a memory leak. The course covers topics such as Java heap overview, GC basics, causes of OutOfMemoryError, and tools for memory leak detection. The teaching method includes lectures, demonstrations, and practical examples. This course is intended for Java developers, particularly those interested in performance tuning and memory management in JVM applications.
