Continuing the JVM blog series, this is part 3 of a JVM adventure.  This post doesn't require you have the knowledge covered in my previous blogs Part 1 and Part 2, however, I still highly suggest you read them so that you will have a better understanding of materials covered here.

Whether you are a young developer or a seasoned professional, one of the hardest parts of software development is finding a juicy project to work on. Hackathons are the solution to that problem.

Checkout the latest hackathon that Callibrity participated to learn more.

This is part 2 of my previous blog, if you haven't read the previous one, I strongly suggest you read that before diving into this blog.

In this blog, we will take a further look of JVM garbage collection (GC) - the available garbage collectors given by JVM or more precisely HotSpot JVM.
