Ebook Let’s Go – TLearn How to Build Professional Web Applications with Go [Code- 9727E]

Let’s Go is a clear, concise, and easy-to-follow guide to web development with Go.

It contains everything you need to know about best practices, project structures, and practical code patterns without leaving out important details and explanations.

Go is a great language for building web applications. But educating yourself from blog posts and standard library materials can consume a lot of time and leave you with more questions than answers.

You may be wondering things like:

✓ Where can I see concrete examples of real-world web applications?

✓ What is the best way to structure and organize my code?

✓ How do I manage and version control dependencies?

✓ And how do I test my web application effectively?

Let’s Go will answer these questions for you, and many more, getting you up to speed quickly and saving you months of research and testing.

The book walks through the process of building a fully working application from start to finish, helping you learn by doing. You’ll get hands-on experience implementing common real-life code patterns, the topics you’re learning will be put in context, and you’ll get a well-structured code base that you can use. Adjust for your own future work.

By the end of the book, you’ll have all the knowledge and confidence you need to build your own professional, production-ready web applications.
