Let's Go Learn Let's Go

On a quest to learn more about Go, since I’ve been in the front-end development space for a while, it’s time to learn more of the back-end! I already have experience with building web servers using node.js and Express in the past but I want to learn a more type-safe language. Let’s Go by Alex Edwards provides a thorough guide to building web servers using Go’s standard library net/http. This seems like the perfect way to learn more about building APIs and serving static web pages. I’ve always been in the dynamic web apps space using React and Svelte.

Why this book?

Cus of Reddit. It seems like a lot of people really like how the book laid out concepts. I’m sure I could how to build APIs from blogs and reading documentation but this book will save me a lot of time by getting right into the meat of it. And since I’m somewhat already familiar with Go and a bit of back-end development, this is probably a good start. I’ll probably go through Let’s Go Further as well.
