README

What is this?

This is a repository containing all the examples from the book BUILD SYSTEMS with GO (and save the world). This book is written to help GO early and not-so-early developers with all the necessary examples to build real systems. The book is organized into two different parts. The first part, explains the language from the basics to more advanced topics using the standard library. The second part, offers the developer a condensed summary of several tools any real system is made of: gRPC, SQL and NoSQL databases, streaming with Kafka, loggers, CLIs (Command Line Interfaces), restful APIs, etc.

The examples are made available at this repository for everybody under the Apache License. Feel free to fork this repo or to take a look to any specific topic you may find relevant. The examples are not explained in the code basically because all the explanations are given in the book. If you are interested in the book you can purchase it in Amazon.

Organization

The repository is organized following the book structure. Every folder corresponds to a chapter, and subfolders correspond to the sections of the chapter. The examples are easy to find following the book.

Most of the code examples are self-contained and can be directly executed with go run main.go.

If additional steps are required to run any example, these are given in the corresponding folder and explained in the book.
