Worse than useless, this book is embarrassing. Bill Anderson Like another reviewer here, I have started writing Nginx modules and upon seeing this title was eager to see it described in a simple and useful format. I was worse than disappointed.In my opinion a review should start with any statement about what the book is for and who it is aimed at. So, let us examine what the intention of the book is in it's own words:"This book is for advanced users such as system ad.

I was hoping to see the author's own thoughts, experiments, analyzing tools, and findings, but I fail to see any highlights. Just as dull and boring
