Hi All,

I’m interested in exploring nginx as the basis for a proxy.

I’m having trouble locating reading material on nginx from a  
development perspective. I found [0,1], but it looks like its for  
administrators. I also found [2], but it looks like its interpreted.  
For performance reasons, I’d prefer to use C/C++. Finally, Amazon does  
not list any books related to development.

Would anyone know of a few good references for a C/C++ developer?

Thanks in advance.
