Node.js - Redis tutorial

Question

How do you use the node.js redis library, what are the core concepts of redis and what does all the redis functions do, e.g. hset, hget etc? Could I have some example.

@lwburk well yes, I've found lot's auto-generated 'documentation' listing every function without explaining it's unique concept — Will03uk, Aug 27 '11 at 23:55
this pdf 'the little redis book' helped me http://openmymind.net/redis.pdf — Connor Leech, Jan 10 '14 at 13:49

It's a shame that the tutorial link is no longer working since it was one of the best tutorials in the wild. I changed it to redis data types. – yojimbo87 Aug 07 '13 at 21:02

The book Learning Node has Chapter 9 Structured Data with Node and Redis.

Here are the redis documentation.

And here is the nodejs documentation.

What you're using in nodejs should just be a redis-driver. So using redis in nodejs is the same as using redis in any other environment.
