Do you know that over 75% of projects in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, including Docker and Kubernetes, are written in Go? This Guided Project was created to help learners create database applications that can run as background processes or daemons using Go.
More specifically, in this 1.5-hour long project-based course, you will develop a Linux daemon, communicate with web servers using HTTP, as well as extract key data from textual raw data. To achieve this, you will create a web article database crawler application by working through a scenario where you are an intermediate-level Go developer for a tech company. In order to be successful in this project, you will need to know the fundamentals of Go including slices, functions, and error handling. MySQL connection and row update with Go ("Relational Database with Go: Build an Article Search Engine" highly recommended).
In a video that plays in a split-screen with your work area, your instructor will walk you through these steps:
Task 1: Getting Started
Task 2: Fetch Each Article's HTML
Task 3: Extract Official Titles of the Web Articles
Practice Task: Regular Expression
Task 4: Generate a List of Keywords and Update Article
Task 5: Run Process as Daemon to Crawl Periodically
Cumulative Challenge
Fundamental Golang (variables, functions, error handling). MySQL connection and row update with Go.
