Build Your Own Redis with C/C++: Learn network programming and data structures by building a Redis-like server from scratch with C/C++. Paperback – Jan. 24 2023
Purchase options and add-ons
Learn network programming and data structures by building a Redis-like server from scratch with C/C++.
- 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 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.

About the author
Hi, I'm James Smith, a software developer with over 10 years of experience.
Visit my website for my other books: https://build-your-own.org.
I have an interest in fundamental knowledge and first principles, which is reflected in the topics of my books.
My books cover topics such as network programming, data structures, databases, compilers, assembly, etc.
I also believe in the "from scratch" approach to learning, inspired by Richard Feynman's quote "What I cannot create, I do not understand".

But the worst part is that I cannot trust that this is the author's work. The author uses the trademark "Redis," liberally, throughout, and clearly markets "Redis," without so much as mentioning that "Redis" is a trademark of Redis, Ltd.
That makes me question the code: is it the author's code, or did they just hack together a bunch of source they found, and aren't attributing license?
Avoid this book. Which is disappointing, as a series around "building it yourself" could be a good series, if the sophistication is there.
