Unfortunatly there aren't many tutorials and books about java NIO. I've struggled to learn it long time. Very good help I got is from reading O'Reilly's Java NIO, excellent book, and in combination with some  "make a simple server" tutorial type I've learned how to do it and built it little by little.
Of course, you could always use already built libraries, such as sunset's JGN (java game network).

most of them are pretty old. I canalised the following links from a poorly written document i had laying around.

- http://gee.cs.oswego.edu/dl/cpjslides/nio.pdf
- http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2004/09/01/nio.html?page=1
- http://www.javaworld.com/javaworld/jw-05-1999/jw-05-toolbox.html?page=9
- http://www.onjava.com/pub/a/onjava/2004/09/01/nio.html?page=3

if you take the above as an guide into nio you should be ok. I also have the ebook of the book mentioned above I don't think I can am allowed to redistribute it.

Most of those target 1.4 as that's wenn nio was introduced. however 1.5 featured:

ExecutorServices are quite nice
