Network Programming with Go

Publisher: No Starch Press, Year: 2021

Network Programming with Go teaches you how to write clean, secure network software with the programming language designed to make it seem easy.

Go combines the best parts of many other programming languages. It’s fast, scalable, and designed for high-performance networking and multiprocessing—in other words, it’s perfect for network programming.

Network Programming with Go is for developers ready to start leveraging Go’s ease of use for writing secure, readable, production-ready network code. Early chapters establish a foundation of networking and traffic-routing know-how upon which the rest of the book builds. You’ll put that knowledge to use as author Adam Woodbeck guides you through writing programs that communicate using TCP, UDP, Unix sockets, and other features that ensure reliable data transmission. As you progress, you’ll explore higher-level network protocols like HTTP and HTTP/2, then build applications that securely interact with servers, clients, and APIs over a network using TLS.
