Dear Wiki user, You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Httpd Wiki" for change notification.
The "ModulesBook" page has been changed by niq: https://wiki.apache.org/httpd/ModulesBook New page: = Modules Book: New Edition = {{{ I have been asked if I plan a second edition of the Apache Modules Book. The existing book was motivated by my perception of a big gap in the market. The book filled that gap, and substantially still does: I believe it can still help a developer up the learning curve to working with our server! However, things have moved on since publication, and a book for HTTPD 2.4 should ideally cover additional topics, as well as revise some of the existing contents. If there is to be a second edition, I believe it should be a multi-author work. For me to revisit it in isolation would be sure to produce something rather stale, particularly when revising old contents. So the first question: who is interested in principle in contributing to a multi-author effort? If there is sufficient interest in a second edition, I can contact my publisher and ask if they're interested. Unfortunately I think my editor has moved on, so I don't know who I'll be dealing with. If they're interested then I think they have a right of first refusal, although obviously that doesn't apply if someone else takes the lead and writes a new book rather than a second edition. }}} == Questions == * Is there a need for an updated modules book? * Who will contribute? * Should it substantially re-use the existing book? * Other things being equal, should the primary medium be online or traditional? * Should we determine now that royalties go to ASF rather than haggle among members of a team? == Contents == TBD. What new chapters and topics might we want (e.g. Proxy/Balancer framework, SSL, socache, expressions); what needs revising? Goal: a new table of contents. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: docs-unsubscr...@httpd.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: docs-h...@httpd.apache.org
