About

Linda Mui is a pioneering figure in Web server technology and open-source software development, best known for her work on extending the Apache HTTP Server. Her key research areas include server-side programming, modular Web architecture, and the integration of scripting languages with core server functionality. Mui’s major contribution is her seminal book, *Writing Apache Modules with Perl and C* (1999), which has garnered 26 citations and remains a foundational resource for developers seeking to customize and enhance Apache’s capabilities through its API. This work demystified the process of building modules, enabling a generation of programmers to create dynamic, scalable Web applications. By bridging Perl and C within the Apache ecosystem, Mui empowered the open-source community to push the boundaries of server extensibility. Her notable achievement lies in translating complex technical concepts into accessible guidance, fostering innovation in Web infrastructure. Mui’s impact endures as Apache continues to dominate the Internet, with her book serving as a critical reference for both students and seasoned engineers exploring server-side development.
