good job 
. Good job explaining the server code.
Understaning the Apache Code 
the book does a good job of that. i bought the book to underdtand how apache worked interanlly. however the the code commentry is pretty disjointed. the compilers have done a excellent job of putting together this. we should see more of such types.
Print out the source code yourself and read it. 
Most of the time the commentary does nothing more than tell you what a function does - and it is obvious from the name anyway. I am disappointed in the actual code commentary, it does NOT do a good job of explaining the code. Apache has a lot of standard programming conventions and internal libraries. I think those should have been covered first and in depth. It would make the Apache source code much more understandable. I read through the first chapter or so of Linux Core Commentary and it seems much more well written.
