This book looks really awesome and I want to follow along with it in Java. I don't have the money to buy the book currently being a university student. In the style of r/RandomActsOfPizza, would it be possible for someone to do a RandomActsofBook and buy this book for me? I could pay the money back to them in a couple of months or pay it forward...whichever they would prefer.

I can get a copy for you. Let me know what email to send you the ebook. I only ask for 2 things. 1) try to complete as much of the book as you can (it’s 700 pages!), and 2) pay it forward when you have the means. Cheers!

  Thank you so much. I am about to start working in july so will be sure to pay it forward once I get a little financially stable. I have some time to kill before that in which I plan to dive into this book. My email is: f"rishi25m{chr(64)}gmail{chr(46)}com" (This is the python3 fstring)

      Hey can I buy the book through you? My card gets rejected, but I know my card is fine, it's the payment service issue. Yesterday I sent an email and a tweet[0] to the author, but he didn't reply. Basically, I want to pay you £36, you send me the pdf and buy it again. If you want to help me out, then send me an email.

The book's code is implemented in Ruby, and the source is here, according to the author, around 6000 lines (haven't checked myself). https://github.com/jcoglan/jit https://github.com/jcoglan/jit If you'd really like to make a Java equivalent of any specific algorithm you can start even without a book. I guess that anybody not versed in Ruby would first have to understand a lot of Ruby details first. The author mentions other efforts relatively similar to his, in other languages, like http://gitlet.maryrosecook.com/docs/gitlet.html http://gitlet.maryrosecook.com/docs/gitlet.html which is node JavaScript.

  I know the author has very graciously provided the source code. I would just like to read through the book to know what kind of reasoning exists behind each of the parts in the author's own words.
