Apache For Beginners Book?

[lizardCat]

i read that XAMPP is a " Apache Distribution ".
question:
in order for a person to effectively work with XAMPP would it be advisable for a person to have Apache experience.
like, read a Apache for beginners book.

I would just like to be able to work with XAMPP comfortably.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
additional info from the person who posted.
I have self learned HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL, and some Javascript.

i have also worked with some Bash and am at this time thinking of studying bash for the next 6 to 8 months. I have a copy of unix programming environment by BKRP and would supplement that with up to date Bash books.
In the open source world , i have not found any " solid reliable course of action to take " for a person to build a good understanding of the whole " architecture of a program structure ".

so i just guess, and buy books and work thru them. and build an understanding in pieces and parts.
Thank you

Well, that depends how deep you want to go into the rabbit hole. But it can't hurt
