Go Web Services: Structured HTTP Handling and Package Refactoring

Creating web services in Go is highly efficient, but organizing your code as it grows can quickly become a challenge. This text-based guide teaches you how to structure your Go applications cleanly using packages and modular handlers. You will transition from writing single-file scripts to building modular, maintainable HTTP services. By reading detailed explanations and studying clear code snippets, you will master the principles of clean architecture in Go web development. What you'll learn: Understand the core principles of Go HTTP servers, request handlers, and multiplexers; Structure your code into clean, reusable packages using modern Go modules; Refactor monolithic handlers into modular components for better maintainability; Implement client-server communication using Go's standard library network tools; Practice writing unit tests for your HTTP endpoints using standard testing libraries. The course begins with foundational concepts of HTTP in Go, then guides you step-by-step through refactoring a basic service into a structured multi-package application. This course is designed for beginners who have a basic understanding of Go syntax and want to learn real-world web service organization.
