What Will I Learn?

• Build and test robust RESTful APIs using Go.
• Integrate modern databases with your web services
• Secure access to your API with auth and traffic with JSON web encryption.
• Test and profile your code.
• Track the proper execution of your code with logs.
• Creating a client library for your API that other developers can consume.
• Select and use modern API frameworks such as Echo.

Requirements

• The course assumes some experience with the Go programming language, as well as some knowledge of HTTP. RESTful web service concepts, JSON, and some Go language features will be introduced in enough detail so viewers can use them to build RESTful services with Go.

Target audience

• This course will teach you how to build a RESTful web server. You will learn to add routing and handle requests, thus making your APIs more RESTful. By the end of this course, you will have the knowledge you need to start building your own enterprise-grade RESTful web services that are production-ready, secure, scalable, and reliable.
