Go Web Development

Web development by Go language is a challenge. Not because Go is a hard language to learn, but the eco system for web development is not mature. And the Go community help is limited regarding web developement using Go. This "portal" is aimed to document my efforts to grasp this. Go is the engine, but most parts consists of the "holy trinity" (HTML, CSS and JS). But upon this you may need "javascript libaries" that are basically other "languages".

GoHosting

To host several Go sites is somewhat different than hosting Wordpress, PHP etc. As Go is an executable, you have to use Nginx as a "proxy" to redirect to each Go application. Read more...

GoWebStatic

A Go static web site is basically 90 percent traditional HTML, CSS and JS. Go replaces the web server (Apache and Nginx) and manage endpoints. The endpoints pick a Go Template and render at the server (SSR). A static site is blazing fast. Read more...

GoAPI

You can connect the database directly from Go. Without API. But there are several benefits from using an API. Right now I am playing with a "hidden" API that is only available from localhost. Secure and fast. The Postgresql database is also called by localhost. So no ports open to either API or database. Read more...

GoTable

Tables are used in many places. The trick is to load, sort and filter fast. As tables are rendering in Go by the server, it will be slower than client side rendering (CSR). So in my attempt to create as fast tables as possible I am using AJAX with fetching direct from the API. Trying some javascript libraries and the results vary. Read more...

GoForm

Actually there is minimal Go involved. I am using AJAX, Javascript and probably also storing the "form" in Postgresql. Click in on a table row and populate the form dynamically using Javascript. Read more...

GoTime

This is a mockup for a Time Tracking app. Mostly created using HTML forms and Javascript. Work in progress...
