Learn GO with Real Code Examples
Updated Nov 21, 2025
Practical Examples
HTTP REST API server using `net/http`
Concurrent file processing with goroutines
Network socket communication
CLI tool for system monitoring
JSON parsing and data transformation
Troubleshooting
Check for compilation errors with `go build`
Validate module dependencies with `go mod tidy`
Debug runtime issues using `fmt.Println` or debugger
Monitor goroutine leaks or channel deadlocks
Check cross-platform builds for portability
Testing Guide
Write unit tests with `testing` package
Use table-driven tests
Run tests with `go test ./...`
Profile code with `pprof`
Use mocks for external dependencies
Deployment Options
Distribute as a single binary
Dockerize Go applications
Deploy on cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, Azure)
Cross-compile for multiple OS/architectures
Use CI/CD pipelines for automated builds
Tools Ecosystem
Go compiler and runtime
Go modules (`go mod`) for dependency management
Testing framework with `testing` package
Profiling and benchmarking (`pprof`, `bench`) tools
Linters and static analysis (`golint`, `staticcheck`)
Integrations
Databases via `database/sql` and drivers
Web frameworks: Gin, Echo, Fiber
Cloud services: AWS SDK, GCP SDK
Message brokers: Kafka, NATS, RabbitMQ
JSON, YAML, XML data parsing
Productivity Tips
Use `go fmt` and `go vet` regularly
Leverage standard library extensively
Use goroutines and channels for concurrency
Keep code modular and reusable
Automate testing and deployment with CI/CD
Challenges
Build a concurrent file processor
Implement a REST API server
Create a CLI tool with subcommands
Write unit and integration tests
