This video provides an overview of the entire course.
In this video, we will learn understand HTTP headers and how they are used with REST APIs.
In this video, we will learn how to handle errors when using REST APIs.
We go through the basic design of the library by implementing all of the data structures that we will use.
We focus on writing the function implementation that will be used with the data structures we have created.
We write a simple command line for testing the Nap library functionality as well as writing more tests.
A lot of new tools focussed for DevOps practices are getting built in Golang because of its focus for system programming. Docker, arguably one of the hottest container technologies right now, is written with Golang. With awesome support from Google, Go is set to be one of the most popular languages for DevOps for a pretty long time.
In this course, you will first start with learning all about REST APIs. Then, you would be building a REST client library, during the course of which, you will be learning many new concepts. Finally, we will develop a command-line tool that would help developers interact with GitHub easily, and perform tasks like searching, cloning, and forking repositories, as well as a lot of other conventional tasks. Needless to say, your tool would be interacting with the GitHub API heavily. Lastly, we would be looking at integrating our REST client library with this tool.
By the end of this course, you would have become a master at Go, and would be able to seamlessly use it for your DevOps tasks.
