#description

In a course on building a RESTful API using Go, you will learn how to create a web service that follows the REST architectural style. REST (Representational State Transfer) is a software architecture style that defines a set of constraints that need to be followed while building web services.

By the end of the course, you will be able to build a production-ready API with endpoints and CRUD operations (Create, Read, Update, Delete) over HTTP. You will also learn how to handle authentication and authorization, handle errors, and test the API using various tools like cURL and Postman.

Additionally, you will gain an understanding of how to optimize your API and deploy it to a cloud service like AWS. You will also learn how to leverage Go’s concurrency and performance features to build a scalable API.

Overall, this course will provide you with a strong foundation in building a robust RESTful API using Go, a language that is ideal for creating fast, scalable and maintainable web applications.
