Socket Programming with Java NIO - Channels, Selectors, and Buffers

In this video we'll cover SOCKET PROGRAMMING using the JAVA NIO library. We'll make an example client/server aplication where the server only requires one thread to handle multiple client connections! In the process we'll touch on CHANNELS, SELECTORS, and BUFFERS, and why byte order and ENDIANNESS matter in computer networking.Network byte order is BIG ENDIAN, but you should always confirm byte order when implementing a networking protocol.
