A step-by-step guide to creation fast, secure, and maintainable web applications with Go.

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

Let’s Go teaches you step-by-step how to create fast, secure and maintainable web applications using the fantastic programming language Go. The idea behind this book is to help you learn by doing. Together we’ll walk through the start-to-finish build of a web application — from structuring your workspace, through to session management, authenticating users, securing your server and testing your application.

Building a complete web application in this way has several benefits. It helps put the things you’re learning into context, it demonstrates how different parts of your codebase link together, and it forces us to work through the edge-cases and difficulties that come up when writing software in real-life. In essence, you’ll learn more than you would by just reading Go’s (great) documentation or standalone blog posts. By the end of the book you’ll have the understanding — and confidence — to build your own production-ready web applications with Go. Although you can read this book cover-to-cover, it’s designed specifically so you can follow along with the project build yourself.

In this book we’ll be building a web application called Snippetbox, which lets people paste and share snippets of text — a bit like Pastebin or GitHub’s Gists.

Prerequisites:
This book is designed for people who are new to Go, but you’ll probably find it more enjoyable if you have a general understanding of Go’s syntax first. If you find yourself struggling with the syntax, the Little Book of Go by Karl Seguin is a fantastic tutorial, or if you want something more interactive I recommend running through the Tour of Go. I’ve also assumed that you’ve got a (very) basic understanding of HTML/CSS and SQL, and some familiarity with using your terminal (or command line for Windows users). If you’ve built a web application in any other language before — whether it’s Ruby, Python, PHP or C# — then this book should be a good fit for you.

Break out your text editor, and happy coding!
