With training courses such as performance tuning, it is very important that our trainers have decades of professional experience in Java projects and therefore have practical experience and knowledge, which is indispensable for such practically oriented training courses.

In this training you will learn to understand Java's Garbage Collector, to look into Java Runtime memory using various tools and to understand the information acquired. Using this information, you will learn how to track down memory leaks and identify performance deficits in an application.

Our trainers always give you the opportunity to influence the content of the training and are happy to bring examples that would help you best for your specific situation in your company
