Learn Redis from Scratch (Udemy.com)

A lot to cover at the beginning, definitions and getting you set up. However, it all comes down together at the end, and makes you want to do more. It's a hands on course, but you gotta have patience in going through the process. Once you get to Section 7 - it all makes sense. Highly recommend it!

I've missed at the beginning any info about that some commands work only for strings and some for lists and other datatypes like exists, del and expire. At Node.js part there is a small mistake about deleting from a list. Same tasks would be deleted at once (you can pass an index and [>] LSET {keyname} {index} {UUID/GUID/__deleted__} and [>] LREM {keyname} 1 {UUID/GUID/__deleted__}) if you want to remove at index ;). At the end its a great course and you can always get this info in documentation. Great Job!

The course is marked "intermediate level" but I feel it's pretty basic. You certainly don't become an advanced user of redis as promised in the course description. I'd expect the course to go in more details of redis pub-sub, how to design the redis db keys for retrieval of data later, how redis helps share the state between multiple server instances etc. Moreover, the example built as part of the project is too simple and I can't imagine that it is close to a real-world usage. You don't save your task list in a redis db , do you? I think instructor did fine with his explanations but this course is really a basic course and not intermediate. If it was titled basic, I'd rate it higher.

Overall, found the course worthwhile. Started a bit slow, but picked up the pace once it got into the "hands-on" sections. One comment on the sample application. I ran into a problem with the section related to the "Next Business Call" Hash. "If" a Hash does not exist in Redis, an exception is generated. I realized why in fairly short order, but it might be a nice addition to the app to handle that. I was thinking of using something like "HEXISTS key field" to validate. Not a huge deal, but I think would enhance the app.

I thought this course did a really good job providing an overview of Redis. I am interested in learning additional options / possibilities / best practices. It would be good to discuss how it might best fit into a microservice stack as well leveraging node.js microservice with angular front end. Overall, really good course to get a practical exposure to redis. Good course and recommend it to others that are new to redis.

This course was very helpful and informative. If you have never worked with Redis before this course will be a great resource for you to get started. The explanations are easy to understand and follow. It is well paced and to the point which is really nice. One area I think that could be improved is spending time on configuring Redis. Other than that, I think this course is a great option to familiarize yourself with Redis.

This was a good introduction to implementing a simple tool using Redis in a Node / Express framework. I felt that the course could have been improved by eliminating some of the material (Bootstrap was unnecessary, and I don't really get why EJS, morgan, or body-parser were used / required). I was impressed enough by the "Hello World" example. In place of some of the material, I would have liked some more information about redis partitioning or sharding.

Pros: A great overview of basic Redis in a tangible format. Instructor speaks clearly (and is clearly from Boston). Examples are concise and presented in a logical, straightforward manner. Videos are great quality and well-recorded. Course format is excellent. Cons: Some of the lectures and examples were directly taken from Redis' documentation. I would have liked seeing more coverage on High Availability, clustering, and replicas. Overall: If you want a good beginner's introduction to Redis and have some web dev experience, this course is for you. If you are a sys admin/engineer who wants to get an in depth understanding of the engine for back end support, development, and infrastructure... this course is not for you. Highly recommended for beginners.

Excellent presentation of Redis commands with some background knowledge to support backup and high availability strategies and basic Redis configurations. As a bonus took some first steps in node.js and twitter bootstrap. I feel confident the material provided me with the basic concepts for moving forward and eventually mastering Redis.

I have completed the course and I am very happy with it. The material is fairly straightforward. The lectures move along nicely and present various aspects of installation, configuration, and syntax followed by examples. Everything presented works on my local system. In the last section, we built a task list using node.js, express, and Bootstrap with Redis on the back end. I thought this was a nice project that shows how Redis can be used and goes beyond just Redis commands. This is a great course.
