GoPa

Welcome to this week's edition of the Gopa newsletter!

In this issue, we bring you articles on a variety of topics, including the SOLID principles, SQLite performance in Go, quicktemplate library, and libraries that have proven useful in various projects.

We also have an interview with Jeronimo Irazabal, Chief Architect & Co-Founder of immudb, and a guide on using NextJS with Golang.

Additionally, we have articles on how "go test" runs tests and how to use the dep package manager to manage Go dependencies.

Have a great week!

The article provides a clear and concise explanation of the SOLID principles, which are a set of guidelines for creating maintainable and scalable software.

The article also provides examples of how to implement these principles in Go, which is a popular programming language. It also includes a note encouraging readers to further learn about SOLID by reading the book "Clean Architecture" by Robert C. Martin.

Overall, the article provides information for software developers looking to improve the design of their code.

This week in Humans Behind Code, we're happy to have Jeronimo Irazabal!

Jeronimo Irazabal is the Chief Architect & Co-Founder of immudb , and Open Source Immutable Database.

When the go test command is run with a specific package specified (e.g. go test ./foo), the Go toolchain performs several steps to run the tests for that package.

It skips intermediate preparation steps such as parsing command line flags and checking for cached results, and generates a package main that runs all TestXxx functions for the package.

This package main is then compiled into a testing binary that is executed, setting the current working directory to the path of the original package.

This process allows for the isolated testing of a specific package.

This guide provides instructions on how to set up a scalable, high-performance backend using the Go programming language and a fast-loading frontend using the NextJS framework.

It first explains how to install NodeJS and Go, and then walks through the process of creating the project structure and setting up a simple Go HTTP server and a NextJS app.

It also covers how to connect the frontend and backend and deploy the project to a server.

The guide includes code snippets and terminal commands to help users follow along and set up their own Go and NextJS project.

SQLite has a reputation of being a toy database useful only for hobby projects and integration tests. The author shows us why this is not true, with data to back it up.

The quicktemplate is a Go library that allows users to create templates that are converted into Go code and then compiled into the binary. This can be useful for generating HTML for web applications and allows for templates to be bundled within the binary, eliminating the need to manage additional files.

The templates are written in a specific syntax and are then compiled by the qtc compiler. In addition to generating templates, the library also allows for template inheritance and composition.

This article presents a list of Go libraries that the author and their team have found useful in various projects, including complex financial, health, and security projects.

The libraries are organized into categories such as HTTP, routers, middlewares, and testing, and the author provides recommendations on which libraries to use for different types of projects.

The article also includes non-obvious uses for the libraries and common anti-patterns to avoid.

The purpose of the article is to provide a curated list of high-quality and battle-tested Go libraries that can save readers time in finding the right tools for their projects.

In this Golang tutorial, you will learn almost everything you need to know about pointers in Golang, when to use them, and the most common pitfalls new developers will run into.

The book features hundreds of interesting and practical examples of well-written Go code that cover the whole language, its most important packages, and a wide range of applications. Each chapter has exercises to test your understanding and explore extensions and alternatives.
