I like Asta Xie's "Build Web Application with Golang" GitBook: https://astaxie.gitbooks.io/build-web-application-with-golan... (Repo: https://github.com/astaxie/build-web-application-with-golang)

In Ask HN: Is there a project based book or course on Go for writing web APIs?

Not necessarily a collection of beginner tutorials, but for what they're worth, these are some very high quality in-depth articles on pieces of the language: - https://dave.cheney.net/practical-go - https://www.ardanlabs.com/all-posts/ If you're looking for more high-level, "get-things-done" stuff, this has been a great resource for getting off the ground: - https://github.com/astaxie/build-web-application-with-golang

https://github.com/thewhitetulip/web-dev-golang-anti-textboo... I have written a very basic introduction to writing webapps in Go without using a framework, as others have rightly pointed out, we really do not need to use a framework in Go for writing webapps, and Go is a great language. If you don't like mine, https://github.com/astaxie/build-web-application-with-golang... is a nice start for new comers.

Jumping to a framework without understanding how internals work is a bad thing. Also, experience is everything, eventually you'll get a hang of it. It is not a barrier, you might like the intro book: http://github.com/thewhitetulip/web-dev-golang-anti-textbook... and https://github.com/astaxie/build-web-application-with-golang...

It's anecdotal, but I live a fair bit of the time in Guangzhou and noticed a lot of Chinese developers I've met there have taken great interest in Go. The surge in popularity seems to have been since an impressively detailed ebook in Chinese on writing web applications in Go[1] was released a couple of years back now, and remains a very popular project on GitHub. It is worth noting though that the most popular languages in China reflect the major languages around the rest of the world, a GitHub search for a very common Chinese character[2] shows that for the Chinese open source community.

It would be nice to add Beego [1], as I'm currently learning Go from an ebook written by the author of the framework [2][3], and it would be nice to see how it performs. Thanks for your hard work!
