## What it is
Source code for all chapters of the book 'Netty in Action' by Norman Maurer and Marvin Allen Wolfthal. It provides Maven-based example projects demonstrating the Netty networking framework.

## Use cases
- learn netty from the book's examples

- reference working netty server and client examples
- follow along with the netty in action book exercises
- study asynchronous network programming in java

## When to choose
- you are reading or studying the Netty in Action book
- you want runnable example code for learning Netty
- you need reference implementations of Netty concepts

## When to avoid
- you need a production networking library rather than educational examples
- you want a maintained framework rather than book companion code
- you need tutorials for frameworks other than Netty

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: networking, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, tutorials, networking
- platform: jvm, cross-platform
- tags: netty, book-examples, java, async-io, sample-code
