Modern Web Development with Go

Build Fast, Scalable Web Services with Go

Go has earned its place in the backend world for its simplicity, performance, and concurrency. Modern Web Development with Go by Dušan Stojanović is a hands-on guide that takes you from language fundamentals to deploying production-ready web servers. Whether you’re new to Go or looking to deepen your backend skills, this book provides a structured path through the entire development lifecycle.

What You’ll Learn

• Core Go concepts: variables, constants, packages, data types, control structures, and functions.
• Advanced Go: methods, interfaces, generics, modules, error handling with panics, and deep coverage of concurrency.
• Web server foundations: REST architecture, HTTP protocol, JSON handling, and routing.
• Project setup: installing and configuring the tools you need to start building.
• Database integration: working with both SQL and NoSQL databases.
• Deployment and maintenance: how to ship and keep your application running smoothly.

From Basics to Production

The book is divided into 12 chapters that progress logically. The first four chapters lay the groundwork: Go fundamentals, advanced language features, web server basics, and project setup. Chapters 5 through 10 focus on development, where you’ll design and build a web service with practical examples. The final two chapters cover deployment and maintenance, so you understand the full lifecycle. Throughout, Stojanović shares insights from his own experience as a Senior Software Engineer, making complex topics approachable.

Who This Book Is For

This book suits developers who want to build backend services with Go. If you’re coming from another language, the early chapters bring you up to speed. If you already know Go, the later chapters on concurrency, databases, and deployment offer depth. The material assumes some programming background but doesn’t require prior Go experience.

Why It Stands Out

Rather than just listing features, the book ties together design, development, and operations. You’ll see how REST, HTTP, and JSON fit into a working server, and how to integrate databases without losing performance. The practical examples and code solutions help you apply concepts immediately. The foreword by Stefan Miletić and technical reviews by Stefan Miletic and Marijana Komatinovic add further assurance of quality.
