Echo Quick Start Guide

By: Ben Huson

Overview of this book

Echo is a leading framework for creating web applications with the Go language.  This book will show you how to develop scalable real-world web apps, RESTful services, and backend systems with Echo.  After a thorough understanding of the basics, you'll be introduced to all the concepts for a building real-world web system with Echo. You will start with the the Go HTTP standard library, and setting up your work environment. You will move on to Echo handlers, group routing, data binding, and middleware processing. After that, you will learn how to test your Go application and use templates.  By the end of this book you will be able to build your very own high performance apps using Echo. A Quick Start Guide is a focussed, shorter title which provides a faster paced introduction to a technology. They are for people who don’t need all the detail at this point in their learning curve. The presentation has been streamlined to concentrate on the things you really need to know, rather than everything.

Testing in general can be broken into five primary categories:

  • Unit testing
  • Benchmark testing
  • Behavior testing

The goal of unit testing is to provide a quick answer to the question: Does this unit of code do what I think it should be doing? This is the first level of testing that is typically performed, as it lives and runs against the lowest unit of functionality.
