GO (golang): Develop Modern, Fast & Secure Web Applications (Udemy.com)

You are invited on an exciting journey where you will learn, with guidance, to use Google's GO programming language to develop modern web applications that are highly scalable in both depth and scope. You'll take advantage of the extraordinary capabilities GO holds for full-stack developers to build all sorts of server/client-based applications.

This course is intended as a rich resource for learning programming basics as well as concepts in general and developing modern and fast web application with Google's GO (golang) programming language in particular - a comprehensive learning experience.

The easiest way to learn new programming techniques and modern concepts in software design is to apply them using real-life examples. In this course you will learn how to plan, implement, test, debug and finally install a modern web application - a homepage for renting out bungalows as vacation homes - on a web server.

You will learn about the advantages of the GO programming language and, on the way to a working application, how to integrate other elements such as SQL/PostgreSQL databases, JavaScript (client-side and server-side), AJAX techniques, HTML, CSS and how to use essential tools for full-stack developers.

Besides programming in GO, this course also deals with

• HTML5 / CSS / DOM

• JavaScript (Vanilla, without jQuery dependence)

• SQL / PostgreSQL

• Migrations / FIZZ

• JSON

• Routes, Handlers, Models

• Tests, Error Handling

• Linux (bash), Windows (Command Line), macOS (bash)

• git / github

• Installation on a webserver

• and much more

While suitable for beginners with basic programming experience, it is designed to be a resource for fairly advanced developers. It's filled with examples, explanations, and clarifications of concepts needed to develop modern, fast and secure web applications, and comes with a code repository on Github and a detailed course outline as PDF, which serves as part of the course.

Included external packages an dependencies:

• go-chi | Router

• scs | Sessions

• nosurf | CSRF-Token

• govalidator | Validator (server-sided)

• pgx/v5 | PostgreSQL Driver & Toolkit

• go-simple-mail | Golang package for sending e-mail

• Caddy 2 | a powerful, enterprise-ready, open source web server with automatic HTTPS written in GO

Also playing a part:

You can get great value from this course and, more importantly, you'll have a great time learning one of the best programming languages ever - the GO programming language, the fastest growing programming language with the highest paid programmers in the US within the last years.

GO is an open-source programming language that makes it easy to develop simple, reliable, and efficient software.

GO was developed by computer science luminaries at one of the best, if not the best, software development companies ever - Google. The design and implementations are by Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike and Ken Thompson.

GO is a very good choice for learning a programming language because it was developed by some of the same people who created the C programming language, Unix, and UTF-8 - some of the most influential contributions to computer science. With GO Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson created a modern programming language that can easily run on multiple processors in parallel, works smoothly in different environments, and makes it easy for programmers to write programs with a very streamlined and user-friendly syntax.

Why did Google develop a new programming language?

In Google's words, "GO was born out of frustration with existing languages and environments for systems programming. Programming had become too difficult and the choice of languages was partly to blame. One had to choose either

• efficient compilation,

• efficient execution, or

• ease of programming;

all three were not available in the same mainstream language. Programmers who could were choosing ease over safety and efficiency by moving to dynamically typed languages such as Python and JavaScript rather than C++ or, to a lesser extent, Java. GO is an attempt to combine the ease of programming of an interpreted, dynamically typed language with the efficiency and safety of a statically typed, compiled language. It also aims to be modern, with support for networked and multicore computing.

Finally, working with GO is intended to be fast: it should take at most a few seconds to build a large executable on a single computer. To meet these goals required addressing a number of linguistic issues: an expressive but lightweight type system; concurrency and garbage collection; rigid dependency specification; and so on. These cannot be addressed well by libraries or tools; a new language was called for."
