Summary
We demystified network programming in Go. Starting with an overview of Go’s net package, the chapter introduced the fundamental building blocks of network programming, including establishing connections, handling data streams, and parsing network addresses. Through engaging examples and detailed explanations, readers learned to navigate the challenges of TCP socket programming, understand the nuances of HTTP servers and clients, and secure their applications with TLS.
By exploring both the theoretical aspects and practical implementations of network communication in Go, you gained a well-rounded understanding of how to build efficient, reliable, and secure networked applications. This knowledge not only enhances your Go programming skills but also prepares you for tackling complex networking challenges in real-world scenarios.
In the next chapter, we’ll examine how to observe our programs’ behavior using telemetry techniques, such as logging, tracing...
