What you'll learn in this Go course

In this guided project you'll practice building a CLI in Go, and you'll use production-ready database tools like PostgreSQL, SQLc, Goose, and psql. This won't just be another CLI utility, but a service that has a long-running service worker that reaches out over the internet to fetch data from remote locations.

Chapter List

1
Config
Build a system for the CLI tool that allows users to get and set configuration values
2
Database
Set up Postgres, Goose and SQLC to allow your CLI application to store and retrieve data.
3
RSS
Build functions that will download and parse data from RSS feeds
4
Following
Add to the multiplayer features of the project by allowing users to follow other RSS feeds
5
Aggregate
Turn your CLI into a long running service that continously aggregates posts from RSS feeds.
