Full-Stack Web Development with Go walks you through creating and developing a complete modern web service, from authn/authz, interop, server-side rendering, and databases, to modern frontend frameworks with Tailwind and Go-powered APIs, complete with step-by-step explanations of essential concepts, practical examples, and self-assessment questions. The book will begin by looking at how to structure the app and look at the relevant pieces, such as database and security, before integrating all the different parts together to build a complete web product.
