Version 3.0.0 of free book "Rust Projects - Write a Redis Clone"

Hi all! I just published version 3.0.0 of my free book “Rust Projects – Write a Redis Clone”.

You can read the HTML version at https://rust-projects-write-a-redis-clone.github.io/ or download the PDF version at https://leanpub.com/rustprojects-redis

The book follows the Redis challenge on CodeCrafters and includes a 40% discount for any paid CodeCrafters membership.

The book covers the whole basic challenge, and three extensions: "Replication", "Transactions", and "Lists".

This edition features a full rewrite of the code with more attention to Clippy suggestions, and the new extension "Lists".

I hope this will be a useful resource to all those (like me) who want to go beyond code snippets and learn Rust implementing something real.

Meanwhile, I've been banned from /learnprogramming for posting the same resource.

Honestly, I find this extremely upsetting. I'm contributing to the knowledge of people, taking the time to write a whole book and sharing it for free and I am banned from the community. If this is what a community is in 2026 then I might as well call it a day and go back minding my business.

Shame on you Reddit. The whole platform is listed on the stock market but I cannot share a free resource that took me hours of unpaid time.
