In this 1.5-hour long guided project, you will create a web server that serves electronic manual pages with Golang's built-in packages.
Go (also known as Golang) is a programming language that is created, supported, and used by Google and many major organizations. It is particularly suitable for internet applications thank to its ready-to-use packages. We will cover serving HTML contents with HTTP protocols, as well as preventing malicious access with regular expressions. This course is aimed at learners who are proficient with core Golang (variables, data types, flow control, functions, packages) and experience with HTML. Knowledge of HTTP protocol is helpful but not required. "Golang for Beginners: Data Types, Functions, and Packages" highly recommended as a prerequisite.
