25
Building a web server using the Go programming language involves designing and implementing the necessary components to serve web pages and other HTTP resources. This course will cover the basics of web server architecture and design, as well as the specific techniques and tools used in Go for building web servers.
The course will start by covering the basics of HTTP, including requests and responses, as well as the different HTTP methods and status codes. Then, you'll move on to learn about Go's built-in HTTP package, which provides the fundamental tools for building web servers.
From there, you'll explore how to use Go's concurrency features, including goroutines and channels, to handle large numbers of incoming requests efficiently. You'll also learn how to implement middleware, which is essential for adding features such as authentication and logging to your web server.
Later in the course, you'll dive deeper into specific topics such as routing, templating, and database integration. You'll learn how to build RESTful APIs, handle file uploads, and integrate third-party packages.
By the end of the course, you'll have a thorough understanding of how to build scalable and reliable web servers using Go, and you'll be equipped with the knowledge and tools to build your own web applications.
