In the previous chapter, we discussed many advanced topics related to goroutines and channels as well as shared memory and mutexes.
The main subject of this chapter is the development of web applications in Go. However, this chapter will also talk about how to interact with two popular databases in your Go programs. The Go standard library provides packages that can help you develop web applications using higher level functions, which means that you can do complex things such as reading web pages by just calling a couple of Go functions with the right arguments. Although this kind of programming hides the complexity behind a request and offers less control over the details, it allows you to develop difficult applications using fewer lines of code, which also results in having fewer bugs in your programs.
However, as this book is about systems programming...
