Go Web Programming

Part 2. Basic web applications

Web applications follow a simple request-response model of programming. Every request from the client gets a response from the server. Every web application has a few basic components—the router that routes requests to different handlers, the handlers that process the requests, and the template engine that translates combines static content with dynamic data to produce the data that is sent back to the client.

In chapters 3-6, you will learn how to use Go to accept HTTP requests using a router, process them using handlers, and return responses with the template engine. In addition, most web applications store data in one way or another, so you will also learn how you can use Go to persist data.
