This is the code repository for Network Programming with Go [Video], published by Packt. It contains all the supporting project files necessary to work through the video course from start to finish.
Go has been gaining popularity in the last few years due to its simplicity, efficiency, and ease of use across a number of domains. This course dives deep into Go’s networking API. It explores the numerous libraries available in Go to create networking programs using protocols such as IP, UDP, and TCP.
The course starts with coverage of fundamental network protocol primitives supported in the Go programming language. You will go on to learn how to create networking tools using concepts such as IP addresses and DNS lookup. From there, you take a deep dive into Go network primitives for support of UDP and TCP. You will learn about socket programming using both packet and stream based protocols to create server and client programs. Lastly, the course presents you with concepts to create robust client and server programs including streaming IO, data serialization, and secure sockets programming.
- Understand Go networking primitive support for the Internet Protocol
- Create Go tools using concepts such as IP addressing and DNS lookup
