    • Error handling
    • Structs, methods & interfaces
    • Concurrency (goroutines, channels, timeouts)
    • Calling REST APIs & working with JSON
    • Project life cycle
    • Managing dependencies
    • Testing
    • Code structure

    Learn how to build production-level services in Go with a focus on macro-level engineering decisions.

    This class teaches how to build production-level services in Go with a focus on macro-level engineering decisions. From the beginning you will pair program with the instructor, walking through the design philosophies and guidelines used to engineer the code. With each new feature, you will learn more about the transition from programming to engineering and the points of refactoring required to write production level applications. Throughout the class, Go modules and Kubernetes will be a focus. Everyone will be making better engineering decisions after this class.

    What a student is expected to learn:
    • Modules
    • Project Setup
    • Routing Basics
    • Web Framework
    • Middleware
    • Kubernetes
    • Business CRUD
    • Database Support
    • REST API
    Prerequisites

    A basic understanding of the Go programming language. Students do not have to be expert Go users but they will get the most from the workshop if they have completed the majority of the Tour of Go.
