This course covers modern Go web development, focusing on building efficient, maintainable, and interactive applications. You’ll start by creating Go web servers and integrating HTMX for dynamic front-end behavior using template fragments. The course dives into JSON encoding and decoding, enabling Go applications to communicate with APIs and handle structured data efficiently.
Database integration is a key component, with hands-on lessons using the database/sql package, PostgreSQL, and SQLC for auto-generating Go database code. You’ll also learn how to perform database migrations using Goose, manage data effectively, and implement best practices for transactional operations.
Front-end integration with Alpine.js and HTMX is explored through building interactive apps like Todo applications, demonstrating how Go can serve dynamic content efficiently. Command-line tools and flags are introduced, along with live reloading using Air to speed up development. By the end of this course, you’ll be able to create full-featured Go web applications, combining backend and frontend skills with modern Go practices.
