by Duane Wessels
While delivering content on the Web is a piece of cake, developing a high-performance solution that reduces user wait time and doesn't bottleneck the network resources on the back end is quite another story. Web Caching dives deep into the topic of Web caching and the design of caches that work well in the real world. Administrators new to proxies and caching will learn the ins and outs of this fairly complex topic in a well-organized fashion. Everything from the basic concepts of caching on the Net to detailed configuration issues on both the server and client side are covered.

Examples are structured with consistent content/themes, with carefully organized CD-ROM arrangement of all codes and resources.
