Learn how to build RESTful APIs using Go in this fun and friendly course! Perfect for beginners diving into web development.
This course is all about teaching you how to create a RESTful API using Go, while exploring the basics of web services and microservices. You'll have a blast!
Go: the Great Stack for RESTful Services
Representational State Transfer (REST) is an architectural style for building scalable web services. RESTful
systems typically communicate over the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) by using HTTP verbs. The REST
architectural style was first described by Roy Fielding in his doctoral dissertation, in which he described six
constraints applied to the REST architecture.
Here are the six constraints described by Roy Fielding:
• Uniform interface
• Stateless
• Cacheable
• Client-server
• Layered system
• Code on demand (optional)
Go is a great technology stack for building applications with the Microservice pattern and its
design philosophy intersects with the Microservice architecture pattern. The idiomatic approach of Go
programming is to develop small pieces of software components as packages and then build applications by
composing these packages.
In the end of my course you will learn how to build a RESTful API with Go. You used MongoDB as the data store for the RESTful API application in which you organized the application logic into multiple packages to easily maintain the application.

Terrible audio, mistakes in code that don't get fixed to 5 minutes latter in video and some import addresses used that no longer exist :(
Need to be better audio and explain more what he is doing rather then just doing it
Can't quite understand what he says. He doesn't explain what and why he is using libraries.
The course is not well defined at all, the sound is poor and the professor didn't take his time for write a dialog or practice his steps before shows his knowledge to the students. His code constantly is buggy while writing
very poor presentation and sound quality (especially 1st part), no explanation given at all, just mindless typing...
The course is broken. The code doesn't work!
I think this is the third course i take from this author. In this course, the author exploits the most used web development librarys (negroni and gorilla/mux) to create a simple Restful API over http for a mongo database. Since mongo is a document database JSON/BSON encoding is also used.
As I stated before, I already knew how Levgen presented is work. However, for newcomers, I think I must share my experience with you. Starting with the negative aspects, the sound quality is very bad, some times it will be difficult to follow some of the concepts and you will be forced to stop and rewind the video. Moreover, since you are following the author's coding process, from declaring variables to creating database connections, you have to expect some troubleshooting and error spoting which are take consuming and not pleasent to watch.
In my point of view, this doesn't affect me, since I'm usually having the code as background to take some ideas and improve my own code. I recomend you to use the Q/A since the author answers very quickly and there are some usefull remarks there that can improve your experience.
Overall the content depicted in this course is exactly what is stated on the description, the code is well divided and it is writen to be easily understood and mantained. Altough, this is not the best of Levgen's courses, it is a useful way to go if you are searching for an hand's on and quick approach to the subject.
I found the course very useful. The project is well structured. But still could be improved: The sound quality is very bad and low even when using headphones, and some go concepts could be also explained (e.g it wouldn't took so much time if structure binding is explained ). Also the course is not really for all levels as mentioned in the description, I would rather say intermediate level in web development is required.
First of all the audio is very poor.
Second the lector mainly types (very fast) and does not explain (talk) much.
The audio is very bad, but I understood all the code that he wrote and works fine. very useful course
