I read a lot of technical books about a lot of topics, but I read very few of them cover-to-cover. I did that with Sun Web Server, the Essential Guide. It’s an easy read about a complex hunk of software. It goes into great depth, but is still understandable and practical.
Granted, I’ve worked with Sun Web Server and its predecessors for more than a decade as well as its competitors, so I have a vested interest in the topic. But this book clearly explained a lot that isn’t evident in the user documentation. The book also benefits by the web server software itself, which seems to have improved significantly in this version.
The only negatives I have are that some chunks of text seem repetitive. I suspect that’s so the chapters can stand alone. But if you read it from front to back, there are a couple ‘didn’t-you-already-say-that’ moments.
