Java Heaps and Garbage Collection with some Zazz
2011/06/10 5 Comments
Here is a presentation I put together about Java heaps and garbage collection to go into some more detail than just raising the heap size. I put in links to some great websites and blog posts that are fantastic reads if you are trying to tune your app’s garbage collector.
The best part though is the “wicked awesome” presentation tool Prezi. It is an infinitely zoomable moving twisting camera landscape thingy . . . its kinda hard to describe. But it makes PowerPoint look like two cups with a string between them. Just check it out.
You can view it fullscreen and Prezi lets you copy presentations and modify them. Here is the direct link to the presentation above if you want to copy it. You can download a self contained offline viewer of a presentation you own (or one you’ve copied).

Very good description with visuals.
Is there a way to save this, do you have a a pdf? Ton of valuable info
I updated the post with a direct link to the presentation hosted on Prezi (http://prezi.com/lzofqasgefim/java-garbage-collection-and-heap-analysis/). From there you can make a copy of it. You can download your own presentations in a self contained offline viewer although I don’t know of a way to export it as a pdf. There’s a lot of metadata, like the zooming and path stuff, that they take care of that would be really hard to do in a static pdf.
I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.
I appreciate the information in the presentation, but the twisting, and odd zooming make it hard to use overall. Generally, I can’t recommend it due to the effects in the presentation.
I’m sorry you don’t like it. This is my first attempt at Prezi. They make it really easy to change the orientation and size of text, but I think the art is not in what you “can” do but how to use that to draw focus and enhance context and not to make people yuke. I’ll have to work on that. Thanks for the comment.
