Build Your Own Redis with C/C++ C/C++

Introduction

• Why build Redis? The knowledge required is broader and deeper
  than usual application-level development. It’s a good way to level up
  your skills (mainly network programming and data structures).
• Why from scratch? A quote from Richard Feynman: “What I
  cannot create, I do not understand”. Human understandings are filled
  with holes aka “things I don’t know I don’t know”. Building from scratch
  is a way to ensure your understanding is complete.
• Why C? C is widely used in system programming and
  infrastructure software. Learn how C is used in real projects, with
  straightforward C code. No prior C/C++ experience is required.
• Why a book? The Redis project is a complex software system
  built with lots of effort, which can be harder to grasp for beginners.
  The book breaks down the core concepts into easy-to-digest steps.
