NOTE

Netty Learning Resources

A practical Netty learning roadmap from event loops and pipelines through buffers, codecs, backpressure, and version-pinned source reading.

This is a historical learning note and may contain outdated or incomplete understanding.

Recommended order:

  1. TCP byte-stream/framing fundamentals;
  2. EventLoopGroup, Channel, ChannelFuture;
  3. ChannelPipeline and inbound/outbound handlers;
  4. codecs and partial-message handling;
  5. ByteBuf, reference counting, pooling/direct memory;
  6. write buffering/backpressure and event-loop blocking rules;
  7. bootstrap/register/bind source flow;
  8. source analysis against the exact Netty release used by the project.

Netty internals evolve, so use current official docs/Javadocs/source tags for exact class behavior.
