Re: [ANNOUNCE] "Practical mod_perl" book is released under Creative Commons license

Hi,
I wish to express my sincere gratitude over the public release of 
Practical mod_perl book.
It will definitely provide in-depth insight into this technology whose 
development I have been following
over the past four three years and yet cannot seem to tie the pieces 
together. I am very much a one man
of open source persuasion operating in an otherwise proprietary 
environment. My main challenge is
to bridge the gap between open source and proprietary systems and I find 
real allies in Perl and Apache
and their derivatives in doing that.

My institution is in the process of evaluating open source software for 
online student administration systems
which will include viewing transcripts online as well as online payment 
of fees. To my mind, modperl can be
used to do these as was indicated by some of the replies I received to 
my previous posting on this list enquiring on  modperl-based student 
systems. Other languages were also suggested as potential candidates.

Good books are hard to acquire readily from this part of the world and 
so the availability of this
resource online is an asset to me.

Thank you,

Alfred,
