Book Review: The Linux Cookbook: Tips and Techniques for Everyday Use
Joe "Zonker" Brockmeier
Somehow, I managed to miss The Linux Cookbook on its first go-around, so I can't say what has changed between the first and second edition. However, Randy Reames noted that the book "seems to address old Linux features and leave out newer, more common ones" when reviewing the first edition for UnixReview.com back in 2001.

Writing Mambo Components — Part 3
Jeffrey L. Taylor
Confession may be good for the soul, but it's bad for the career. I confess I've violated the first principle of professional programming — be sure you can deliver before you promise anything. Mambo does not have a mechanism for updating plug-ins. So there may be a Part 4 in this series on writing Mambo plug-in updates. In the meantime, there is a workaround. It pushes more work onto the site administrator than is ideal, but it preserves data and is reasonably robust.
Before jumping into the code changes, here are a couple of administrative details. One reader has asked to use the Part 1 code as a starting point for his own module, but his employer isn't comfortable with GPL'ing the result. After thinking over what I am trying to accomplish with this series, I've decided to make the module and component code available under either the GPL or the Artistic license. Both licenses are included in the whereis.zip package.
This article assumes you have read Part 1 and Part 2. Where changes are small, only difference listings are shown (e.g., Listing 1). The full code is in the whereis.zip package.
