With release of GoLang version 1.22, with an update to the standard library for handeling advanced api routes. Would you say its still use full to use a package like Gorrilla or is using the std enough?

Recently discovered your channel and I must say, I've learned a lot from your content. Keep up the great work

[xpmmzuy]

Really appreciate the video with actual code and not just some theory

New to Golang here. Not even sure if I’ll go deeper into it tbh.

Question: Why do I have the impression Go devs overuse single-character variable names? It’s just awful!!!

[rostyslav]

Thanks mate, suuuuper useful
Appreciate your hard work!

I don't understand when to use * and when to use & . I know that & returns address and any ptr *int will store the address but that's very basic thing which is taught in every tutorial . I want to know what *sql.DB, *MySQLStorage, &MySQLStorage store in them or why to use them . Please if anybody can help me understand

[SajadJalilian]

I want to thank you for putting in the time. Keep doing it.

I'm curious I see that you have a very flat file structure, other than simplicity do you see a reason for not using folder structure like the cmd/ interna/ pkg/ handlers/ etc? Awesome video!

[djanthony]

Thanks, man. right when I need these types of videos. Subbed.

[mrtitanhearted]

I actually was searching for something exactly like this! Thanks a bunch!!! That was very useful! Keep up!

Most experienced developers are interested in project structure than the project itself 👎
