Brief Summary
This course teaches you how to harness the power of Redis, a top-tier in-memory database. You'll explore data types and commands, learn to use Redis with PHP and Python, and discover what makes Redis stand out from other databases like MongoDB and CouchDB.
Key Points
-
Redis is a powerful in-memory database used by top web companies.
-
It handles data better than memcached and can process vast amounts of data.
-
You can use Redis for real-time applications like chat logging and scoreboards.
-
The course covers data types, commands, and how to use Redis with PHP and Python.
-
Familiarity with a terminal is needed, and using Linux is highly encouraged.
Learning Outcomes
-
Understand the basics of NoSQL databases and the unique features of Redis.
-
Get hands-on experience using Redis commands and data types.
-
Integrate Redis with PHP and Python for real-world applications.
-
Gain confidence in using terminal commands and Redis CLI.
-
Learn practical uses of Redis in real-time applications.
About This Course
Learn how to use the super powerful in-memory database used by the top web companies.
Redis is a powerful in-memory database. You could liken it to memcached yet with better data type handling. You may find yourself using Redis as a medium to process vast amounts of data.
Other examples may be using Redis for real-time chat logging, scoreboards, or simply a powerful caching engine. You will need to be familiar with a terminal to take this course. I recommend GitSCM for Windows, or Terminator for Linux,
This series is simple, we go through the Data Type and Commands, and you follow by example. We'll also integrate a PHP and Python client to show how easy it is to use as an abstracted adapter in two popular languages.
It's highly encouraged you use SSH or Linux to use the Redis CLI. The Windows binary works but it can be a bit unstable.
This course will guide you through the commands (Not every single one), but it will get you started so that it makes sense. This course will take around 2 - 3 weeks to fully understand the material and practice it.

Very good explanations about the Redis tool. Course is completely independent from programming languages, so short hints about PHP and Python are no problem for everyone. Thanks for uploading the course. :)
