Its an Apache Software Foundation project that is written in Perl to fit into the mod_perl system for Apache, and like a lot of open source software implementations these days, its use is on the rise because of its effectiveness and low cost. XML Publishing with AxKit is the first book solely devoted to AxKit. The book is a tutorial which goes into great detail on how to install, configure, and deploy AxKit effectively. For those just learning XML the book proves that XML publishing is both a reachable and empowering choice.
