Go Web Programming

 

DESCRIPTION

Google built the Go language from the ground up to simplify the challenges of modern application development. Go is ideal for writing server-side components that route and process data and manage the event-driven nature of modern web applications. Go's instantly-familiar syntax and structure make it easy to build application components from scratch, and a full-featured standard library, along with a growing ecosystem of libraries and frameworks provide an abundance of pre-built functionality so developers can be super-productive quickly.
