Apache Server Commentary: Guide to Insider's Knowledge on Apache Server Code

Rating:
Summary: good job
Review: Good job explaining the server code.

Rating:
Summary: Print out the source code yourself and read it.
Review: I am disappointed in the actual code commentary, it does NOT do a good job of explaining the code. Most of the time the commentary does nothing more than tell you what a function does - and it is obvious from the name anyway. Apache has a lot of standard programming conventions and internal libraries. I think those should have been covered first and in depth. It would make the Apache source code much more understandable. I read through the first chapter or so of Linux Core Commentary and it seems much more well written.

Summary: Understaning the Apache Code
Review: i bought the book to underdtand how apache worked interanlly. the book does a good job of that. however the the code commentry is pretty disjointed. the compilers have done a excellent job of putting together this. we should see more of such types.
