Build Status Go Report Card

Building Web Applications with Go

Welcome, gopher! You're not a gopher? Well, this workshop is for gophers, or people that use the Go programming language. But fear not if you've never written any Go before! I'd recommend you learn the basics for the language first with the Go tour.

This workshop has been run a couple of times with an instructor leading. The goal of this repo is to make it as easy as possible for individuals to follow the content by themselves. If you get stuck at any point, feel free to file issues asking questions.

Setting up your workspace

To go through this you will need the following:

  1. You have installed the Go Programming Language.
  2. You have set up a GOPATH by following the How to Write Go Code tutorial.
  3. You are somewhat familiar with the basics of Go. (The Go Tour is a pretty good place to start)
  4. You have a Google account and you have installed the Google Cloud SDK.

Contents

There's a lot to say about how to build web applications, in Go or any other language. But we only have one day so we won't try to cover too much. Instead we'll cover the basics, so you'll be able to explore other solutions and frameworks later.
