If someone wanted to truly master redis as a tool, is there a book or a starting point you would recommend?
Have used redis for years, have scratched more than the surface but I feel like there is so much more underneath I'm missing and my knowledge is (as is often the case) cobbled together from using it, reading bits of the docs and blog posts.
- antirez 3y agoUnfortunately the book I wish existed didn't exist. I was about to write one for O'Reilly, but after the first exchanges I understood they were not the right match for me, so I abandoned the project. This happened several years ago, now I'm outside the Redis project so I'll not certainly write this book anymore. Later I started writing fiction, and during the process I understood that the bad vibes I had with O'Reilly were justified: the editor I had worked with tried to impose me a given shape for the book, a shape that I thought was not the right one. Their editing is massive and in the case of the Redis book they were destrying the book I had in mind. Writing a book is an insane amount of work, if you can't make it as you wish it is not worth the effort at all.
- noir_lord 3y agoThank you for answering, in a way it's a good answer since I looked for a book but none of them really looked like they'd fit what I wanted so at least I didn't miss an obvious one.
