"Fast" reviewers for Apache Pocket Reference wanted
I have finally finished the technical review draft of the "Apache
Pocket Reference" for O'Reilly & Associates and need a few people to
review it before it goes to production in just over a week (I shall be
sending it off on 26 January). The book covers over 200 directives in
stock Apache plus mod_perl, mod_ssl, Apache-SSL, IBM HTTPD and
Stronghold; it also covers mod_perl methods (the mod_perl section has
already been reviewed). It will be just over 100 pages in a similar
format to the other O'Reilly Pocket References.
I would welcome any feedback on the book from those who know the
server well and who have the time to provide feedback in the short
time that I have available. Please contact me if you can help.
Andrew

Well that's sufficiently embarassing :) Of course that was meant as a
private reply. Sorry for the intrusion. Time to drift back to silent
lurking...

The draft Apache Pocket Reference covers Apache 1.3.9 and mod_perl
1.21 (plus mod_ssl 2.4.10 and the latest version of Apache-SSL) I've
been grabbing the CVS snapshots and tracking the user-visible changes,
so assuming 1.3.10 is released before the book goes to production it
will include those changes.

The latest ORA book only covers Apache 1.3.3. You could get ahead of
the game and cover all the way to 1.3.10. :)

I meant it in the best of ways!
I thought the current ORA Apache book only covered 1.2? Hrm, a quick
check on Amazon shows I'm quite wrong. I must have missed something
somewhere :)
I mostly live in mod_perl land though so for that limited purpose
there is a very, very good and up to date ORA book :)

I'd be glad to help. I'm even qualified! Let me know if you still
need assistance. A good Apache book from ORA is desperately needed.
