The pressure is on for developers to deliver better, more robust performance&emdash;while staying connected to the community and features that have led to Apache becoming historically one of the most successful Open Source projects ever. This in-depth Apache 2.0 title runs on Perl and C languages, and surpasses simple 1.3-2.0 migration topics, and is a must for all serious Apache developers.

Author Paul Weinstein highlights the advantages of Apache 2.0. These include a new I/O layer that better handles network traffic between Apache modules, and an Apache Portable Runtime that encourages robust code and better supports non-Unix platforms. Weinstein even introduces the API for Apache 2.0&emdash;which allows more control over existing modules, and allows you to write custom modules.
