Building Modular Go Projects and APIs from Scratch

Starting a new Go project can feel overwhelming when deciding how to structure your code for long-term growth. This text-only course guides you through the process of organizing your Go applications cleanly and efficiently from day one. You will transition from writing simple single-file scripts to structuring modular, multi-package Go APIs. By learning how to separate application logic and manage internal packages, you will create codebases that are easy to maintain and scale. What you'll learn: - Understand foundational Go project setup and dependency management with Go modules - Structure your application cleanly by separating entry points from core business logic - Build modular packages that keep your codebase organized and maintainable - Implement robust HTTP routing and handle API requests using modern Go patterns - Integrate structured logging and clean error handling into your services - Write basic unit tests using Go's built-in testing framework to ensure reliability This course begins with essential Go terminology, project initialization, and directory layout conventions. You will then progress through written explanations and code examples to build a fully structured API, focusing on modular package design. This course is designed for beginner Go developers looking to level up their project organization skills, with no advanced prerequisites required. Start reading today to build well-structured Go applications with confidence.
