Marketing Your Consulting Services

If consultants did not have to market and sell themselves, I am sure
that the number of consultants would at least quadruple. Just the
thought of submitting our work and ourselves to the judgment of others
scares many people away from making a living as an independent
consultant.Marketing and sales helps define the boundary between
those who choose to consult and those who do not.

I?e been on my own for years, and I am still uneasy about new encounters with potential
clients. The phrase ?tanding naked before strangers?captures
my worst fears.

Securing & Optimizing Linux: A Hands on Guide for Linux Professionals

As an NT Administrator I have read many Linux books trying to bridge my NT knowledge to the Linux and Unix world, this book is by far the best.

Most of the Linux books I have read before tell you what to do to administer a Linux server, but they assume that you know how to do it. Gerhard Mourani tells you in detail what to do, how to do it, and why to do it. I have learned a great deal not only about Linux server applications, but about the Linux operating system itself.

If you want to take advantage of Linux? versatility as a server operating system, and do it in the most secure and efficient manner, you can find no better book than this one. In addition to operating system configuration there are many chapters individually dedicated to installing and configuring specific Linux server applications such as Sendmail, SQL server, Apache, BIND, and many more.

One disclaimer: If you are looking for information on how to build a Linux workstation or cool Gnome desktop, this is not the book for you. It is focus is exclusively building Linux application servers.

Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C

Product Description
Apache is the most popular web server on the Internet because it is free, reliable, and extensible. The availability of the source code and the modular design of Apache makes it possible to extend web server functionality through the Apache API. For the most part, however, the Apache API has only been available to C programmers, and requires rebuilding the Apache server from source. mod_perl, the popular Apache module used primarily for enhanced CGI performance, changed all that by making the Apache API available to Perl programmers. With mod_perl, it becomes simple to develop Apache modules with Perl and install them without having to rebuild the web server. Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C shows how to extend web server capabilities regardless of whether the programming language is Perl or C. The book explains the design of Apache, mod_perl, and the Apache API. It then demonstrates how to use them to perform for tasks like the following:

* Rewriting CGI scripts as Apache modules to vastly improve performance
* Server-side filtering of HTML documents, to embed special markup or code (much like SSI)
* Enhancing server log functionality
* Converting file formats on the fly
* Implementing dynamic navigation bars
* Incorporating database access into CGI scripts
* Customizing access control and authorization to block robots or to use an external database for passwords

The authors are Lincoln Stein and Doug MacEachern. Lincoln is the successful author of How to Set Up and Maintain a World Wide web Site and the developer of the widely used Perl CGI.pm module. Doug is a consultant and the creator of the innovative mod_perl Apache module. ?his text refers to the Paperback edition.
