Let's Go Further

Let’s Go Further guides you through the start-to-finish build of a modern JSON API in Go – from project setup to deployment in production.

As well as covering fundamental topics like sending and receiving JSON data, the book goes in-depth and explores practical code patterns and best practices for advanced functionality like implementing graceful shutdowns, managing background tasks, reporting metrics, and much more.

You’ll learn a lot about topics that are often important to your real-world work, but which are rarely discussed in beginner-level courses and aren’t fully explained by the official Go documentation. Let’s Go Further also goes beyond development. It outlines tools and techniques to help manage your project on an ongoing basis, and also gives you a step-by-step playbook for deploying your API to a live production server.

By the end of the book you’ll have all the knowledge you need to create robust and professional APIs which act as backends for SPAs and native mobile applications, or function as stand-alone services.

If you read and enjoyed the first Let’s Go book, this course should be a great fit for you and an ideal next step in mastering Go.
