Description

Writing, testing, Dockerizing, and deploying Go apps

What You'll Learn?

Scaffolding a go project and writing a main go file as well as additional packages
Dockerizing a Go application
Writing basic tests in Go
Orchestrating a CI/CD pipeline that first runs tests the deploys the Dockerize go application to Docker Hub

Who is this for?

Beginner to Intermediate developers who want to write their Go

Advanced developers coming from other languages who want to see the moving parts of a Go application

What You Need to Know?

Some minor exposure to go, at least its syntax, would be helpful

Experience with shells as well as git

More details

Description
Go is a powerful backend language that is an asset to any developer's toolkit. It is extremely performant, a relatively easy language in terms of syntax, and has many valuable features like testing and JSON serialization and deserialization built in.Â In this practical, hands-on, step-by-step style course, we'll build a fully functioning Go application from complete scratch along these steps:
- Scaffolding the Go application and writing main.go
- Writing cron jobs in Go
- Writing a powerful generic HTTPÂ function
- Using that HTTPÂ function to call an API andÂ serialize the response into Go object's using Go
- Use that HTTPÂ function to POSTÂ messages to a Slack channel
- Write tests using Go's built in testing module
- Dockerize the application so that it can be run with docker compose
- Round off the course by crafting a complete CI/CD pipeline that first builds and tests our application, then Dockerizes and uploads the application to Docker Hub
- We'll see that once the Circle CIÂ pipeline is setup, we can control the entire pipeline process through pushing to a git branch alone, and never have to manually do any sort of configuration or commands for our deploys
By the end of the course, you will have the confidence and know how to build Go applications from start to finish - including testing, Dockerizing, and deploying them!
Who this course is for:
Beginner to Intermediate developers who want to write their Go
Advanced developers coming from other languages who want to see the moving parts of a Go application

Instructor's Courses

Hi everyone! I've been a professional full stack software engineer for 7+ years, and I've been programming for many more. In 2014, I earned two separate degrees from Clarkson University: Mechanical Engineering and Physics. I continued at Cornell for my M.S. Degree in Mechanical Engineering. My thesis at Cornell was a technical software project where I first learned Bash and used a unique stack of Perl and Fortran, producing a publication in the scientific journal Combustion and Flame: "A novel atom tracking algorithm for the analysis of complex chemical kinetic networks".After opening up my first terminal while at Cornell, I fell in love with software engineering and have since learned a variety of frameworks, databases, languages, and design patterns, including TypeScript, .NET, JavaScript, Python, React, Redux, ABAP, SAPUI5 UI5, C#, PHP7, Postgresql, and Magento. I love building full stack apps as side projects!I'm happy to give back and teach what I've learned over the years, because I think software development is especially difficult these days, with all the new tools and frameworks that seem to come out daily. I don't want anyone to be intimated by this and I too struggle and reach out from time to time for help and mentoring. I try to make my courses as clear as possible so you don't get lost or confused.
