Build Your Own Redis with C/C++
Build Your Own Redis with C/C++
Network programming, data structures, and low-level C.
About the Book
Paperbacks
Build real-world software by coding from scratch. If you can build a Redis server, you can build almost any software beyond CRUD! Because it teaches you 3 fundamental skills:
- Network programming. The next level of programming is programming for multiple machines. Think HTTP servers, RPCs, databases, distributed systems.
- Data structures. Redis is the best example of applying data structures to real-world problems. Why stop at theoretical, textbook-level knowledge when you can learn from production software?
- Low-level C. C was, is, and will be widely used for systems programming and infrastructure software. It’s a gateway to many low-level projects.
Why from scratch? A quote from Richard Feynman: “What I cannot create, I do not understand”. You should test your learning with real-world projects!
Why a book? The real Redis project is a large code base built with lots of effort. The book distills the core concepts and guides you through small steps.
