JBoss at Work: A Practical Guide
by Tom Marrs, Scott Davis
Amazon Price: $23.07
Customer Review: Some books have alot of pages with little information. This book is short, but every page is rich with facts and insights.
I work with integrating a 3rd party application that uses JBoss, and come from a Microsoft development background, so this whole world of Java/JBoss/EJB was a bit new to me. I needed a good guide which would explain what JBoss is, how it works, and how to set it...
Apache Cookbook: Solutions and Examples for Apache Administrators
by Rich Bowen, Ken Coar
Amazon Price: $23.09
Customer Review: Some of the reviews for 'Apache Cookbook: Solutions and Examples for Apache Administrators' have stated that this book is a little too basic and simple for Apache administrators out in the world, but I would disagree. Apache is a solid technology that has proven it's mettle in the world for many many many years but there aren't a whole lot of books out on the market for it. It is of this reviewe...

Apache: The Definitive Guide (3rd Edition)
by Ben Laurie, Peter Laurie
Amazon Price: $26.37
Customer Review: Most of the time you can trust O'Reilly technical books. But this dog should be drug out back and shot. It's out of date, it's poorly written, it meanders all over the place. I'm pretty tolerant of technical writing as long as I'm learning what I need to along the way. But at a time when I was highly motivated to get up to speed on Apache I literally gave up and threw this on the floor in frus...
Apache Security
by Ivan Ristic
Amazon Price: $23.07
Customer Review: I found this book while browsing the programming section of Borders (the programming section of my local Borders is amazing!), and I've found it to be a real gem.
The book covers so much more than just Apache security. It covers installation and configuration, and explains a little of how Apache works along the way. There are also chapters or sections on:

Linux Network Administrator's Guide
by Tony Bautts, Terry Dawson, Gregor Purdy
Amazon Price: $23.07
Customer Review: I was very suspicious of this book, because I knew it was available online for download. I thought at first, why not just print it and read it. A friend of mine told me this is something completely different. And he was right. It was worth every penny (cent).
The book is a great introduction to Linux networking theory and practices. Although it's lightweight in size, it makes it up w...

The Definitive Guide to Apache mod_rewrite (Definitive Guide)
by Rich Bowen
Amazon Price: $39.99
Customer Review: This book is perfect for programmers AND webmasters! Before reading this book I had very limited knowledge of what mod rewrite was or how it worked. After I finished it I was able to:
1. Make search engine friendly URLs (dynamically generated by my site) work.
2. Block bad bots and remote file inclusion attempts.
3. Rename pages or move them seamlessly.
The Apache Modules Book: Application Development with Apache (Prentice Hall O...
by Nick Kew
Amazon Price: $40.40
Customer Review: This should be considered a required resource if you need to learn about writing apache modules. It is the best introduction available to writing modules for Apache 2, and holds up well as a reference.
Linux Server Security
by Michael D. Bauer
Amazon Price: $29.67
Customer Review: The big reason why I purchased this book was because it claimed it was great about security and it said it would show how to setup these services the correct way.
Well first of all this author loves to use the binary packages (RPMs, etc.). And anyone that is a major security buff knows that the RPMs are the last things to get updated when a flaw is found out.
Secondly that's all the u...
