DIY Golang Web Server: No Dependencies Needed!
Building a web server from scratch without any third-party dependencies is so easy in Golang. And if you also need a 15-minute crash course about Golang, then I highly recommend watching this video here: • Go from Zero to Hero: Learn Golang in...
📝 Description
In this video, we explore how to build a web server with Golang without any dependencies. We delve into the new features brought by Golang 1.22 and test the HTTP module while constructing a server from scratch. Our web server is capable of retrieving, adding, and deleting users from a local database with no third-party dependencies involved. We also discuss potential improvements and optimizations that could be made to the code. If you're interested in learning about the basics of Golang, web servers, or just wanting to enhance your software engineering skills, this video is for you.
