An author who is part of the core Apache team is likely to score high. - How well do they communicate to a newbie? A professional author with lots of books published is probably doing something right. Rich Bowen scores on both those tests, and also does newbie training, including the "introduction to apache" tutorial at ApacheCon. Worth a look at his books. Someone also mentioned Ivan Ristic, who is also well-respected, though not a core developer. Couldn't say anything about other individuals mentioned. -- Nick Kew --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
