You'll also get refreshers on Go constructs and useful code tricks to build performant projects, and develop an HTTP based cloud ready image generator.
Each chapter will be organized in the following format: what the particular application looks like; requirements and user stories of our example program; an introduction to the Go libraries or frameworks used; and the actual implementation of the example program, including common pitfalls and their solutions.
Go Crazy will open your eyes to anew world of practical applications for Go. After reading the book, you will be able to apply your Golang knowledge to build your own crazy projects. Free source code will be available on this book's Apress GitHub page.
