Review:
Cascading Style Sheets can put a great deal of control and flexibility into the hands of a Web designer--in theory. In reality, however, varying browser support for CSS1 and lack of CSS2 implementation makes CSS a very tricky topic. Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide is a comprehensive text that shows how to take advantage of the benefits of CSS while keeping compatibility issues in mind. The book is very upfront about the spotty early browser support for CSS1 and the sluggish adoption of CSS2. However, enthusiasm for the technology spills out of the pages, making a strong case for even the most skeptical ... Rest of this review on the detail page

Review:
A simple but very useful reference guide for PHP functions. Very handy for searching for that one PHP function you needed and what were its parameters again. I am now using PHP for about half a year and I consider this book is very good offline reference. The downside to a paper version is that PHP development is going fast at this moment so books like this age rapidly.

Review:
Perl's cross-platform compatibility is less of an advantage to sysadmins than you might think. Most useful Perl programs need to access files and file access conventions are quite different across Unix/Windows/Mac platforms. The author deals with such issues early along with the oddities of installing Perl on different platforms and the need for sysadmins to write clean, robust and secure programs. Recent Net exploits underline the last point. The content is, though, far from theoretical. One of the first script examples shows how to recursively walk a file tree using Perl alone and then an even better way using Perl's File:Find module. Having c...

Review:
For those who wish to set up their own Web server, Apache has one undisputable advantage: it's free. On the other hand, you can't call up technical support and yell that you aren't getting what you paid for. In fact, you can't call up technical support at all, unless you go to one of the commercial firms that provides it. So, unless you are the type of person who learned UNIX by reading the source code, you probably want some help in getting set up. This book provides detailed, stepwise instructions on getting Apache, installing it, and making it work for you. The authors assume that you have a C compiler, and some familiarity with it, but very little else. Topics include basic introductions, minimal Web sites, CGI (Common G...

Review:
Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C will allow you to enhance your Apache HTTP server in just about any way you'd like. Overall, it is an excellent book, and it has a lot of good information and terrific examples on everything from "Content Handlers" to customizing the Apache server configuration process. It's quickly apparent that Lincoln Stein and Doug MacEachern spent valuable time writing this book considering the breadth of their subject and the depth they devote to it. The only downside to the book is that it's kind of hard to explain all of the API functionality without assuming a minimum level of competence from the audience. For that...
