Great article, thanks.

Note with the install, it's `sudo apt-get install redis-server`. The Redis documentation recommends wget of the latest tar but this was good enough for me to experiment with.

The redis site has a great online tutorial - I recommend it to get started, but run the commands locally for a better feel for it.
