Overview of this book

Go is the language of the Internet age, and the latest version of Go comes with major architectural changes. Implementation of the language, runtime, and libraries has changed significantly. The compiler and runtime are now written entirely in Go. The garbage collector is now concurrent and provides dramatically lower pause times by running in parallel with other Go routines when possible. This book will show you how to leverage all the latest features and much more. This book shows you how to build powerful systems and drops you into real-world situations. You will learn to develop high quality command-line tools that utilize the powerful shell capabilities and perform well using Go's in-built concurrency mechanisms. Scale, performance, and high availability lie at the heart of our projects, and the lessons learned throughout this book will arm you with everything you need to build world-class solutions. You will get a feel for app deployment using Docker and Google App Engine. Each project could form the basis of a start-up, which means they are directly applicable to modern software markets.

Making a pretty social sign-in page


So far, we haven't paid much attention to making our application look nice; after all, this book is about Go and not user interface development. However, there is no excuse for building ugly apps, and so we will build a social sign-in page that is as pretty as it is functional.

Bootstrap is a frontend framework for developing responsive projects on the Web. It provides CSS and JavaScript code that solve many user interface problems in a consistent and good-looking way. While sites built using Bootstrap tend to look the same (although there are a plenty of ways in which the UI can be customized), it is a great choice for early versions of apps or for developers who don't have access to designers.

Tip

If you build your application using the semantic standards set forth by Bootstrap, it will become easy for you to make a Bootstrap theme for your site or application, and you know it will slot right into your code.

We will use the version of Bootstrap hosted on...
