Riassunto

In today's fast-paced digital world, building scalable, efficient, and robust web services is no longer a luxury—it's a necessity. But with so many frameworks and languages, where do you even start? What if you could build a powerful REST API using a language that's simple, fast, and built for concurrency?

Welcome to the world of Go.

Go (or Golang), with its minimalist syntax and powerful standard library, is the secret weapon of top tech companies for building high-performance, scalable systems. It's designed for the cloud-native era, making it the perfect choice for creating the heart of your applications—your REST API.1

Go REST API Development isn't just another dry technical manual. It's your personal guide, your mentor, and your co-pilot on a journey to becoming a master of API development with Go. We'll cut through the noise and get straight to what matters, showing you how to build real-world, production-ready APIs from the ground up.

Tired of fragmented tutorials and outdated documentation? This book provides a complete, A-to-Z roadmap. You'll start with the fundamentals, understanding the core principles of REST and Go's unique approach to concurrency. We'll then progress to building a full-featured API, complete with data validation, authentication, and error handling. You'll learn how to connect to databases, manage dependencies, and implement advanced features like rate limiting and API versioning.

What's Inside?

• Go Fundamentals: A quick, practical refresh on Go's syntax and core concepts essential for API development.
