github.com/angelofallars/programmer_jokes_api
An API written in Golang that provides programmer jokes stored in Redis.
First, launch a Redis instance (should be on port 6379, the default port). If you've installed
Redis on your machine, this usually means just
running the redis-server
command.
go install
go run .
When you first run the API server, it will automatically populate the Redis database with some preset jokes.
