This in-depth Pro Apache 2.0 title runs on Perl and C languages, and surpasses simple 1.3-2.0 migration topics. This book is a must for all serious Apache developers. Author Paul Weinstein explores the essence of Pro Apache Web Server 2.0, and begins by examining issues faced by Apache Web Server developers. The pressure is on for developers to deliver better, more robust performance - while staying connected to the community and features that have led to Apache becoming historically one of the most successful Open Source projects ever. Weinstein also highlights the advantages of Pro Apache 2.0. These include a new I/O layer that better handles network traffic between Apache modules, and an Apache Portable Runtime that encourages robust code and better supports non-Unix platforms. This book even introduces the Application Programming Interface (API) for Pro Apache 2.0 - which allows more control over existing modules, and allows you to write custom modules. Weinstein rounds off this thorough book by providing real-world examples of writing custom modules.
