Hands-On Full Stack Development with Go

Welcome to Full Stack Go

This book is the result of an effort to provide you, the reader, with a very practical and concise learning tool for building full stack web applications in Go. Learning how to build full stack web applications in a powerful language such as Go can be a very valuable skill, as it allows you to write fully functional and scalable applications on your own. Go is known in the industry for both its performance and relative ease of use. This ensures that your applications can sustain growing data loads and expanding users, without suffering from scalability issues too early.

Full stack developers are the main drivers behind software startups; this is because of their ability to build products both quickly and efficiently from scratch. They are also typically the key members or the subject-matter experts (SMEs) in large corporations, as they help architect software...

What is full stack development?

Before we take any further steps, we first need to answer a simple question; what does it really mean to be a full stack developer? A full stack developer can be defined as a software engineer who has the skill to work on both the frontend and the backend of an application.

The frontend of a web application is basically anything related to the user interface of the application. For web applications, the technologies that are needed to build the user interface are HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. In production environments, an application can support different types of frontends, depending on the device by which the user is viewing the web application. For example, a frontend on a mobile smartphone may need different rules to accommodate the limited screen size of the device, compared to a screen size of a large desktop monitor.

In order to make the...

What will we build?

Throughout this book, we will build a full stack web application from scratch. The application will be called GoMusic; it's a store for musical instruments written in React.js and Go. The following screenshot demonstrates how the main page will look:

Users will be able to browse the musical instruments in the store, buy what they like with their credit cards, and log in to their accounts to see their existing orders.

Let's take a look at the architecture of the application that we are going to build in this book.

The application architecture

Our application architecture will be relatively straightforward—we will use the extremely popular React.js framework for our frontend code, and then...

The outline of this book

This book will cover numerous practical topics to help you acquire the deep skills necessary for a full stack developer:

  • In Chapter 2, Go's Building Blocks, and Chapter 3, Go Concurrency, we will take a deep and a practical tour into the Go language. You will learn about some of the key features of the language, as well as some of its popular design patterns.
  • In Chapter 4, Frontend with React.js, and Chapter 5, Building a Frontend for GoMusic, we will cover how to build beautiful and responsive frontend applications using the React.js framework. This is also where we'll start building our GoMusic web application. We will cover React's building blocks, design patterns, best practices, and more. The majority of the frontend code of the book project will be covered in Chapter 4, Frontend with React.js, and Chapter 5, Building a Frontend for...

Key benefits

  • Build a responsive front end by using the powerful React framework
  • Build web APIs and middleware in the Go language by making use of the popular Gin framework
  • Build an Isomorphic Go React application via GopherJS
  • Perform unit tests, and benchmarking on your web API

Description

The Go programming language has been rapidly adopted by developers for building web applications. With its impressive performance and ease of development, Go enjoys the support of a wide variety of open source frameworks, for building scalable and high-performant web services and apps. Hands-On Full Stack Development with Go is a comprehensive guide that covers all aspects of full stack development with Go. This clearly written, example-rich book begins with a practical exposure to Go development and moves on to build a frontend with the popular React framework. From there, you will build RESTful web APIs utilizing the Gin framework. After that, we will dive deeper into important software backend concepts, such as connecting to the database via an ORM, designing routes for your services, securing your services, and even charging credit cards via the popular Stripe API. We will also cover how to test, and benchmark your applications efficiently in a production environment. In the concluding chapters, we will cover isomorphic developments in pure Go by learning about GopherJS. As you progress through the book, you'll gradually build a musical instrument online store application from scratch. By the end of the book, you will be confident in taking on full stack web applications in Go.

Who is this book for?

Hands-On Full Stack Development with Go will appeal to developers who are looking to start building amazing full stack web applications in Go. Basic knowhow of Go language and JavaScript is expected. The book targets web developers who are looking to move to the Go language.

ハンズオンということで購入しました。確かに、ReactやGo, GoのフレームワークであるGinについては学べるかもしれませんが、この本で学習することは難しいと感じました。色々理由はあるのですが、最大の理由は、動作確認フェーズが全くないことです。通常の学習本であれば、一区切りついたら、動作確認をしてコードが正しく動いているか確認するフェーズがあると思います。しかし、この本にはそれがありません。また、書籍に乗っているコードをどのファイルに書けばいいのかなどの説明が足りなかったり、説明がないコードが追加されたサンプルコードが突然出てきたりします^^;結局、70%ほど進めたところで、学習をやめてしまいました。

Packt has a major problem with editing and content review, and it shows in the book. It's badly organized (reads like the transcription of a conference presentation in many ways), and is riddled with typos and material errors throughout; so much so, that if you don't already have a good grasp of the basics (Go, React), you'll likely pull your hair out trying to make the code work.So yes, there's a github site for the code, and that code works, but the fact that they never went back and fixed the book itself is a symptom of Packt's approach to publishing: Editing? What's that?

What is custom duty/charge? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

  • If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
  • Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.
