COPIOUS is a user-centered digital experience agency. We build digital products with the user at heart and technology in our bones. We recently moved to a new office and now have a large space to host our TechTalks.

About TechTalks:

COPIOUSLabs TechTalks series meets every other Friday at 1pm at the COPIOUS offices. Our talks span artificial intelligence, new programming languages and techniques, computational linguistics, geographic data processing, systems and software architecture, augmented reality, network security, and more as proposed to the Copious engineering team.

About this talk:

Speaker: Aaron Edmonds, Software Engineer

Not many pieces of software can claim a 7 point manifesto, let alone deliver on all points, but the Remote Dictionary Service (Redis) stands as an outstanding example of code written with conviction. With just over 4 years since its initial release, many of the biggest sites online are leveraging Redis because of it's speed and simplicity.

In this tech talk, we'll walk through the basic commands and various data types of Redis and also see how companies like Instagram, Craigslist, and Github are using it in their core architecture. Bring your unix based laptop to follow along.

If you want to learn how to scale your web apps with Redis data structures (and modules), join Redis experts for a free (as in beer) full day of tutorials and hands-on. sessions.

The workshop will cover a variety of Redis programming topics, including: - An Overview of Redis Data Structures - Handling JSON Data in Redis - Transactions and Pipelining - Designing Robust and Reliable Redis Deployments - Redis Modules such as RediSearch, RedisGraph and RedisJSON

At the end of the workshop, you will take away: a working knowledge of Redis data structures and modules. Sample code demonstrating session management, JSON data handling, and the Redis PubSub system.

A Continental breakfast and lunch will be provided. For the programming labs, please bring a laptop with Python3, a text editor, and the Python Redis package installed.
