Unlock the power of Go (Golang) by building a fully functional real-time chat application from scratch! In this course, you’ll learn how to develop a production-ready backend using Go, implement secure JWT authentication, manage WebSocket connections for real-time messaging, and handle file uploads and downloads. This course is designed to guide you step by step, from setting up your project structure to deploying a scalable and robust chat system.
We start with the basics, including module and folder organization, and gradually move to more advanced topics such as database design, handling private conversations, message pagination, and user management. You’ll also implement middleware for logging, CORS, and authentication to ensure your app follows best practices. A major focus of this course is real-time communication. You’ll learn how to manage WebSocket clients, send events for messages, typing indicators, delivery and read receipts, and maintain active connections using heartbeats. We’ll also cover graceful shutdowns, error handling, and proper server initialization.
By the end of this course, you will have a professional-grade chat backend that you can deploy anywhere. Whether you’re a beginner wanting to learn Go through a practical project, or an experienced developer looking to expand your backend and real-time programming skills, this course provides all the tools, guidance, and knowledge you need.
