Back-End Web Development using Go [Video]

This is the code repository for Back-End Web Development using Go [Video], published by Packt. It contains all the supporting project files necessary to work through the video course from start to finish.

About the Video Course

Go is one of the hottest and fastest growing languages on the block, mainly because it is lightweight, easy to use, and displays great robustness when performing in a variety of domains. Scores of developers have been learning how to harness its power to create solid back-ends for their applications, but there has always been a gap in learning material for client-side development in Go, which has limited developers’ skills. This course will bridge that gap by showing you everything you need to know so you can build production-grade applications.

 

In this course, we teach you how to develop back-end web applications using Go. You will learn to build various applications and also use microservices. We start off by showing you how to create and render server-side templates and handle requests. Moving on, you’ll see how to implement web forms and process file uploads. Next, we’ll thoroughly examine data persistence and show you how to save data to a wide variety of popular databases and datastores. Finally, we cover authentication, session management, and end the section with an introduction to asynchronous queues.

 

What You Will Learn

• Render server-side templates  
• Manage requests and responses 
• Create custom middleware 
• Build web forms with validation and security in mind 
• Create functionality to upload and process images and videos 
• Implement a custom datastore for a relational database, document database, and an in-memory database 
• Build functionality for user authentication and session management 
• Secure routes using authentication middleware 
• Implement an asynchronous task queue
