wtf

There are a few Go projects meant to be learned from: - https://github.com/pion/opus for to learn audio - https://github.com/benbjohnson/wtf for overall production quality - https://github.com/upspin/upspin difficult to explain, personally I'm not a fan of the errors

Thanks for the mention, Cory. Great article, btw! To the parent post, there are several articles on Go Beyond[1] that walk through development of an open-source, real-world application called WTF Dial[2]. The source is available on GitHub and you can ask Go application design questions on the Discussions board[3].

I really enjoyed reading the upspin codebase. I thought it was really a clean design and clean code. Some of the early go team members were working on it including andrew gerrand and rob pike. I think its a bit of an experiment on how one might design a content sharing system if you were to start from the ground up and not on the current web standards. I particularly like how they work authentication and authorization into the model. I had a few experimental upspin services I wanted to write but never got around to. Another great read for learning go that covers the more traditional challenges of standing up a basic web service with user accounts, testing, metrics, etc. is https://github.com/benbjohnson/wtf and the accompanying blog posts that cover how to structure such an application and why.
