Many thanks to Paulo, Ruslan and oscaretu for all the answers. I'll dig deep and will most certainly open up new threads with questions regarding the features I wish to implement.

If someone has anything else of interest to share, don't hesitate.

Hi Richard,
I am also new to nginx development and the best resource, so far are:
* http://www.evanmiller.org/nginx-modules-guide.html
* http://antoine.bonavita.free.fr/nginx_mod_dev_en.html

I met a guy, Wandenberg Peixoto ( https://github.com/wandenberg) who has been an invaluable help.

I called my first module "do_nothing" and it was challenging enough. Although the blog post is written in Portuguese, the source code is documented in english: http://tech.pauloasilva.com/nginx-desenvolvimento-de-modulos/

I have a few months of nginx development experience but I had already fight big challenges with some nginx stuffs. If you have any questions and if you think I can help you, drop me a line by email.

    Hi!

    I'd like to start working on the nginx source. I know my way
    around in C (although I'm not a crack at all) but I'm totally new
    to nginx. Do you have some starting points that would help a new
    developer to understand how things work?

    - Coding standards (already noticed an 80 character hard limit)?
    - Preferred OS (FreeBSD, or is Debian good enough)?
    - Any other good tips or articles to help one get started?

    I searched the Internet but wasn't able to find anything that
    would help, so I decided to turn to the mailing list. I'm sorry if
    this question is redundant.

    Thanks in advance
    Richard
