Book Description:
Go is a modern programming language with capabilities to enable
high-performance app development. With its growing web framework
ecosystem, Go is a preferred choice for building complete web apps. This
practical guide will enable you to take your Go skills to the next level
building full stack apps.
This book walks you through creating and developing a complete modern
web service from auth, middleware, server-side rendering, databases, and
modern frontend frameworks and Go-powered APIs. You'll start by
structuring the app and important aspects such as networking, before
integrating all the different parts together to build a complete web
product. Next, you'll learn how to build and ship a complete product by
starting with the fundamental building blocks of creating a Go backend.
You'll apply best practices for cookies, APIs, and security, and level
up your skills with the fastest growing frontend framework, Vue. Once
your full stack application is ready, you'll understand how to push the
app to production and be prepared to serve customers and share it with
the world.
By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to build and ship
secure, scalable, and complete products and how to combine Golang with
existing products using best practices.
