Packt’s new book on Nginx: Nginx HTTP Server
Aug 16th
Well, as you can tell, it’s been about a month since I’ve posted on this blog, but I’ve been busy1 elsewhere. In a week or two I’d share with you a few of the projects I’ve been working on recently and show you some peeks at what I will be doing for this Autumn and beyond.
What else is new?
I was approached about two weeks ago by Packt Publishing to write a review of a new book on Nginx. I’ve never done it before, but it will be a new challenge for me. I’ll publish my review on Celavi|Blog so you should check back from time to time :) They found me by Google Search. Especially they noticed valuable and informative post about setting up Nginx on Ubuntu. I have to say, it sure does make all the time spent blogging feel a little more worthwhile!
Nginx HTTP Server
Nginx HTTP Server is a new book from Packt, written by Clement Nedelcu. This book is a detailed guide to setting up Nginx in different production situations: as standalone server, as reverse proxy, interacting with applications via FastCGI, and more. Using this book readers will be able to explore possible interactions between Nginx and Apache to get the best of both worlds.
Using this book, readers will be able to download and build Nginx from source along with its dependencies. In addition to this, they will learn the basics of Nginx configuration, process of replacing Apache by Nginx and troubleshooting. Users will also be able to configure Nginx to work as frontend for their existing HTTP server and establish advanced rewrite rules with the Nginx Rewrite module.
