09 Jul 2003 The new input/output (NIO) library, introduced with JDK 1.4, provides high-speed, block-oriented I/O in standard Java™ code. This hands-on tutorial covers the NIO library in great detail, from the high-level concepts to under-the-hood programming detail. You'll learn about crucial I/O elements like buffers and channels, and examine how standard I/O works in the updated library.
Prerequisites
While this tutorial does require a working vocabulary and conceptual understanding of the Java language, it does not require a lot of actual programming experience. You should understand basic Java programming concepts such as classes, inheritance, and using packages. Some familiarity with the original I/O library (from the java.io.* package) will also be helpful.
System requirements
You will need to have JDK 1.4 installed and in your path to complete the exercises in the tutorial.
