The Only Comprehensive Guide to Developing Apache 2.x Modules and Applications

Apache is more than the world's most popular Web server–it's also an extraordinarily powerful and extensible development platform. Now, ApacheTutor.org's Nick Kew has written The Apache Modules Book, the first start-to-finish, example-rich guide for every developer who wants to make the most of Apache.

Kew begins with detailed, accessible introductions to Apache's architecture and API, then illuminates all the techniques you'll need, from request processing through code security. He brings together the best of both worlds: powerful C-based techniques for accomplishing tasks Perl or PHP can't handle, implemented with tools that deliver all the productivity you'd expect from higher-level languages. Utilizing realistic code samples, Kew introduces techniques documented in no other book-and, often, nowhere else at all.

Coverage includes

• Using Apache Portable Runtime (APR) to streamline C development and avoid its pitfalls

• Leveraging Apache DBD to build applications far more scalable than classic LAMP software

• Working with the latest Apache 2.x features: filter modules, XML support, and smart proxies

• Mastering best practices, from thread safety to multi-platform development

• Utilizing the Apache Authentication Framework

• Tracing and debugging problems in both Apache and your custom modules

About the Web Site

ApacheTutor.org contains code examples from the book, all designed for easy use and integration into existing applications.

This book is for Web Developers who want to learn how to use Linux & Apache for Website Hosting. The first chapters will teach you how to install Linux and Apache 2.0 on a home or office machine for testing purposes. Then you'll learn how to perform dozens of common tasks including:

• Updating server software
• Setting up new Websites, Email Accounts and Subdomains
• Configuring various Linux & Apache files related to performance and security
• Install spam filtering software
• Perform automatic backups and crash recoveries

And much more.

This is the ideal book for anyone who wants to run Websites using a leased or co-located Linux server, without having to spends thousands of dollars annually on third party support and management.

This is a hands-on practical guide to a large variety of topics and use cases. This book tries to use real-world examples when possible, but is not afraid to come up with a contrived pretext if it makes explaining the problem simpler. Unlike a lot of other books, this one does not try to maintain a continuous theme from chapter to chapter, such as demonstrating solutions on the same fictional application; doing so would be almost impossible given the wide variety of recipes presented here. Instead, this book concentrates on focused problems users are likely to encounter and shows clear solutions in a step-by-step manner. This book tries to teach by example and is not afraid to show a lot of code because, after all, it is for coders. This book is for current users of the Apache Wicket framework; it is not an introduction to Wicket that will bore you with tons of theory. You are expected to have built or maintained a simple Wicket application in the past and to be looking to learn new and better ways of using Wicket. If you are ready to take your Wicket skills to the next level this book is for you.

This well-detailed Cookbook takes you step by step, doing one task at a time with the latest version of Apache Maven 3. You will find this Cookbook an answer to almost all your needs for building high-quality Java applications with well-explained code and many illustrations to quicken up your learning. If you're a Java developer, it will arm you with all the critical information you need to get to grips with Maven 3, the latest version of the powerful build tool by Apache. This book is for Java developers, teams, and managers who want to implement Apache Maven in their development process, leveraging the software engineering best practices and agile team collaboration techniques it brings along. The book is also specifically for the developer who wishes to get started in Apache Maven and use it with a range of emergent and enterprise technologies including Enterprise Java, Frameworks, Google App Engine, Android, and Scala.

This book provides a quick start in developing web services using the open source Apache CXF framework. Each chapter uses illustrations from an Order Processing Application and all the code examples are built using the ANT tool. These practical, simple, and easy-to-work-with illustrations are accompanied by step-by-step instructions. As a developer you can take advantage of these practical scenarios to understand the CXF framework and also make use of them in real-life applications. After reading this book, you will be able to develop and deploy services using the CXF framework. This book is for developers who want to design and develop SOAP and RESTful services using Apache CXF framework and leverage various CXF features for service development. It is ideal for developers who have some experience in Java application development as well as some basic knowledge of web services, but it covers some of the basic fundamentals of web services and REST to get you acquainted with these technologies before using these concepts to develop services using the CXF framework.

The Apache HTTP server (simply "Apache") powers most of the sites on the World Wide Web. Programmable, extensible, and highly-configurable, the Apache web server provides for uploads, downloads, CGI and other server-side scripting, and web site security.

Pro Apache, Third Edition is a new revision of Peter Wainwright’s bestselling book on Apache configuration and administration. In addition to installation, maintenance, and deployment, the book demonstrates how to configure Apache to use Perl, PHP, and Python as server-side scripting languages. And unlike other books on Apache, Pro Apache provides comprehensive information on both major revisions - 1.3 and 2.0 - of the software.

Pro Apache Ant is a professional-level tutorial for Java and XML developers who want to learn the open source Apache Java-based build tool, Ant. Pro Apache Ant shows you how to be productive with Ant right from the start.

Instead of writing shell commands, the configuration files are XML-based. Each task is run by an object that implements a particular Task interface. And, if you really need to execute a shell command, Ant has an task that allows different commands based on the OS.

The example application covers the entire set-up of the application, from calling database scripts to unit testing. Practical examples are used at every stage. Each task will have a concrete example. The author shows you how with other, complimentary tools like Apache Jakarta Tomcat.

This book is organized around chronological tasks instead of alphabetical functions, using a sample application throughout the set-up, from calling database scripts to unit testing.

Web Application Design and Implementation uses a hands-on approach of the major technologies and programming languages to teach readers web development. Providing an understanding of all major aspects of web programming in order to achieve the construction of a database-driven website, the book features state-of-the-art programming languages such as HTML, JavaScript, MySQL, PHP, Apache, Linux/Unix.
