Book Cover

I have curated a list of books that are highly relevant for people who intend to DIY their own Redis.

Beej’s Guide to Network Programming.
[Amazon] [Web]
A comprehensive guide and reference to network programming. It’s a great supplement for coding your own networked apps, as the Redis book doesn’t cover all the details of socket programming.
The Linux Programming Interface by Michael Kerrisk.
[Amazon] [Web]
The socket API is only a subset of the Linux API interface. You will probably need to become familiar with the other parts, such as IOs, threads and processes, signals, and etc, if you are developing apps for Linux.
The C Programming Language by K&R.
[Amazon]
Are you scared of C, but still want to follow the project? No problem. This classic book is great for picking up C quickly, whether you are a beginner or an experienced developer.
