The course starts by looking at the differences between NGNX and Apache for those with Apache experience and then explains the different ways of installing NGNX, customizing your install, and configuring NGNX as a service.
The installation section also covers updating NGNX without the downtime and adding/removing modules. The bulk of the course is then focussed on configuring NGNX as a web server, including connecting it to a PHP backend and configuring some of NGNX’s best features, such as Gzipping and GeoIP.
The final section will go over securing the server and the user via SSL and other security best practices. Upon completion of this course, you will have the practical skills to immediately start building secure, high-performance web servers or improve and better understand existing hosting solutions you might work with. This course is to the point and everything is demonstrated in the most simple, yet practical ways.
