Practical Guide to A Simple Backend Project with Go Language

The history of Golang began in September 2007 when Robert Griesemer, Rob Pike, and Ken Thompson at Google started a new language development project. They were inspired by the weaknesses of the existing programming languages and decided to create a new language that would overcome these deficiencies.

Initially, this language was called "Language X" or "Google's new language." However, in 2009, the development team decided to formalize the language's name as "Go". This name was chosen because of its association with speed and the ability to progress and move quickly.

In 2009, Google officially released Go as an open-source project. It allows a community of developers outside of Google to contribute to developing this language. In 2012, Go was released in version 1.0, marking the language's stability and maturity.

Since then, Go has continued to grow with the support and contributions of a growing community of developers. This language is gaining significant popularity among software developers due to its efficiency, security and productivity advantages. Many technology companies, including Google, use Go in their software development.

This book targets those of you who are new to Go Language programming and have already learned the fundamentals. It is hoped that if you have finished reading this book and put it into practice, readers can understand the flow of making current applications and are expected to be able to develop them in the future, especially in the field of Backend Development using Go Language.
