  2. So So Tutorial by EkiM+in+De · · Score: 1

    I am a bit of a fan of the IBM tutorials and I usually spend a couple of hours each month reading through one or two. I have found that the ones I have read are not too hot on detail but I believe they are designed to be digested in an hour or so. So naturally they give a good introduction to a topic, but also provide a nice stepping stone to more complex material.

  3. Tutorial for 1.3.26 not 2.x architecture by tyrione · · Score: 1

    Would the author of this /. article please modify the summary to make note it is for Apache 1.3.26 alone.

    It just makes good sense to make that destinction so people can pass or inquire about the article more, knowing what targeted release it was based upon, upfront.

    The is very little in this article that isn't in the class of, "If you don't know this already, you probably shouldn't be running any dynamic content". I thought it would at least go into stuff about securing pages that allow updating of content or configuration from web pages, but I didn't see any of this. Stuff like SSL, authentication and certificates.
