Requirements
Attendees should possess a solid grasp of basic system administration tasks via the Linux command line. Certain modules benefit from programming or scripting experience. Upon booking, please specify the programming languages you are familiar with. If no specific language applies, the course will focus on issuing Redis commands directly through redis-cli.
