Go Web Programming

Google built the Go language from the ground up to simplify the challenges of modern application development, such as concurrency, memory management, and scalable performance. For web developers, Go is ideal for writing server-side components that route and process data and manage the event-driven nature of modern web applications. Go's instantly-familiar syntax and structure make it easy to build application components from scratch, and a full-featured standard library along with a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks provide an abundance of pre-built functionality so you can be super-productive quickly.

Go Web Programming teaches you how to build web applications in Go using modern design principles. You'll work through numerous examples that introduce core concepts like processing requests and sending responses, template engines, and data persistence. You'll also dive into more advanced topics, such as concurrency, web application testing and deployment both to barebones servers and PaaS providers. Readers just getting started with Go will appreciate the quick Go language tutorial appendix.
