By all means I loved the course. It really takes you up and down. And ı felt like whole project took me everywhere! However It is by any means not an easy course. Take it slow. Some lessons did not even made sense to me while going through the hardest ones. But read again and again.

One of the best courses in boot.dev: the right amount of handholding for the coding exercises and broad enough to cover a wide array of web security topics.

A great course to understand the complexity of deploying a secure web application in today's threat environment. Also, a good chance to explore your knowledge of Go!

This course is probably my favorite boot.dev course to date. Tons of useful information, great sample code (especially rate limiters), and great exercises to help drive the point home.
