Web Development with Go: Building Scalable Applications

Modern web infrastructure requires speed, efficiency, and scalability—qualities that the Go programming language was specifically designed to provide. This course guides you through the essential concepts of web development, teaching you how to build robust back-end systems from the ground up. You will transform from a beginner into a developer capable of architecting web services that handle high traffic with ease. By focusing on the powerful standard library and core networking principles, you will gain a deep understanding of how data moves across the internet and how to manage it effectively using modern software patterns. What you'll learn: - Understand web architecture, including the client-server model and the request-response pattern. - Master the net/http package to create custom web servers and manage complex routing. - Apply server-side templating to generate dynamic content and interface with data structures. - Implement middleware and use the context package for efficient request handling and timeouts. - Connect applications to databases like PostgreSQL to manage persistent storage. - Build RESTful APIs and microservices using modern Go modules and best practices. - Practice containerizing applications with Docker for consistent development environments. The course begins with foundational networking concepts and the HTTP protocol before moving into practical server construction and database integration. You will explore how to structure projects for scalability and maintainability, ensuring your code remains clean and performant as your application grows. This course is designed for beginners interested in back-end engineering and developers looking to transition into the Go ecosystem. No prior web development experience is required.
