A practical introduction to NIO

March 29th, 2007 by James

It aims to take you from nothing to working code in as short a time as possible and it’s been very well received. I wrote it because I struggled to find decent documentation around NIO and spent a lot of time trawling through obscure forum threads and the JDK source code to get it working.
