Relational Database with Go: Build an Article Search Engine
Do you know that over 75% of projects in the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, including Docker and Kubernetes, are written in Go? This Guided Project was created to help learners create database applications using Go.
More specifically, in this 1.5-hour long project-based course, you will learn how to access SQL databases, prevent SQL injection, as well as using advance Go features slices and defer.
To achieve this, you will create a web article database management application by working through a scenario where you are an intermediate-level Go developer for a tech company.
In order to be successful in this project, you will need to know the fundamentals of Go including variables, functions, and error handling, and SQL (SELECT, ADD, DELETE, LIKE). Knowledge of HTML, CSS are helpful but is optional. We will be using Fiber for the frontend user interface but prior knowledge is not necessary as that part of the project is already written.
