Welcome to the first chapter of our journey, where we will learn about full stack development in Go. This chapter is dedicated to readers who are not yet familiar with Go. If you are already proficient in the Go language, you can skip this chapter. We'll cover the basic building blocks that form the foundation of the Go language, which will be covered in a brief but practical manner. Then, we'll show you the Go syntax for basic programming constructs like functions and loops. We'll also cover some concepts that are specific to Go like slice, panic, and defer. This chapter assumes that you have some familiarity with programming concepts in general (like variables, functions, loops, and conditional statements). This chapter also assumes that you have some familiarity with Terminals, and command lines, as well as the concept of environmental...

Overview of this book
The Go programming language has been rapidly adopted by developers for building web applications. With its impressive performance and ease of development, Go enjoys the support of a wide variety of open source frameworks, for building scalable and high-performant web services and apps. Hands-On Full Stack Development with Go is a comprehensive guide that covers all aspects of full stack development with Go.
This clearly written, example-rich book begins with a practical exposure to Go development and moves on to build a frontend with the popular React framework. From there, you will build RESTful web APIs utilizing the Gin framework. After that, we will dive deeper into important software backend concepts, such as connecting to the database via an ORM, designing routes for your services, securing your services, and even charging credit cards via the popular Stripe API. We will also cover how to test, and benchmark your applications efficiently in a production environment. In the concluding chapters, we will cover isomorphic developments in pure Go by learning about GopherJS. As you progress through the book, you'll gradually build a musical instrument online store application from scratch.
By the end of the book, you will be confident in taking on full stack web applications in Go.
