very fun to learn

This helped me a lot getting used to pointer, reference, dereferencing, setting up packages, types, and almost everything you need to know for setting up backend-pipeline. Some parts would have been better if there were more explanations, but I got that help from AI. Without boot.dev, I wouldn't have been able to set up go backend at all. This is nice. It would have been also better if we talk about more on 3-layers for abstraction, something like router-controller-services-repo. Great course!

I learned a lot of new information during this course. I only had learned bits and pieces of the overall course and so it was nice to build a project to solidify my core knowledge of servers and how they connect to databases, refreshing my SQL knowledge in a real world scenario, and handling requests in the back end.
