Lighttpd, 9781847192103 (1847192106), Packt Publishing, 2008

LightTPD is a secure, flexible, and most importantly, light web server designed and optimized for high performance environments. It is open-source and licensed under the revised BSD license. Its event-driven architecture optimized for a large number of parallel connections, its advanced features (FastCGI, CGI, Auth, Output Compression, URL Rewriting, and many more), and its small memory footprint compared to other web servers, make LightTPD the perfect server software for every web server that suffers load problems or for serving static media separately from dynamic content.

LightTPD supports the FastCGI, SCGI, and CGI interfaces to external programs, permitting web applications written in any programming language to be used with this server. Excellent performance for PHP, a particularly popular language, has received special attention. Additionally, LightTPD has become popular within the Ruby on Rails community.

The Design of Dynamic Data Structures (Lecture Notes in Computer Science) (v. 156)

In numerous computer applications there is a need of storing large sets of objects in such a way that some questions about those objects can be answered efficiently. Data structures that store such sets of objects can be either static (built for a fixed set of objects) or dynamic (insertions of new objects and deletions of existing objects...

The logic for determining the significance of model numbers for the various Canon DSLR models can appear nonexistent. By inference, we've concluded that the EOS ID series—with its various alphabetic suffixes and Mark qualifiers—is the top-of-the-line professional DSLR body. Other single-digit D- series DSLR bodies are...
