Build frontend-to-backend web applications using the best practices of a powerful, fast, and easy-to-deploy server language
Go is an open source programming language that makes it easy to build simple, reliable, and efficient software. It is a statically typed language with syntax loosely derived from that of C, adding garbage collection, type safety, some dynamic-typing capabilities, additional built-in types such as variable-length arrays and key-value maps, and a large standard library.
Learning Go Web Development is a start-to-finish walkthrough of the topics most critical to anyone building a new web application. Whether it’s keeping your application secure, connecting to your database, enabling token-based authentication, or utilizing logic-less templates, this book has you covered. You’ll begin by learning about routing requests and implementing SSL. Moving on, you’ll get to know about practices to keep users’ data safe. By the end of the book, you will be able to build robust, secure, and fully-featured applications for the web.
