Let's Build a Go version of Laravel
Build a reusable Go module and command line application that makes building a web application simple, fast and secure.
Instructors:
Trevor SawlerDescription:
Laravel is one of the most popular web web application frameworks in the PHP world, and with good reason. It's easy to use, well designed, and lets developers work on their applications without worrying about re-inventing the wheel every time they start a project. Go, often referred to as Golang, is one of the most popular programming languages in the world, and has been used to create systems at Netflix, American Express, and many other well known companies. It's extremely fast, type safe, and designed from the ground up to be used on the web.
This course is all about taking some of the most useful features found in Laravel, and implement similar functionality in Go. Since Go is compiled and type safe, web applications written in this language are typically much, much faster, and far less error prone that a similar application written in Laravel/PHP.
The key features we'll work on in this course include:
Implementing an Object Relation Mapper (ORM) that is database agnostic, and offers much of the functionality found in Laravel's Eloquent ORM.
A fully functional Database Migration system
Building a fully featured user authentication system that can be installed with a single command, which includes:
A password reset system
Session based authentication (for web based applications)
Token based authentication (for APIs and systems built with front ends like React and Vue)
A fully featured templating system (using both Go templates and Jet templates)
A complete caching system that supports Redis and Badger
Easy session management, with cookie, database (MySQL and Postgres), Redis stores
Simple response types for HTML, XML, JSON, and file downloads
Form validation
JSON validation
A complete mailing system which supports SMTP servers, and third party APIs including MailGun, SparkPost, and SendGrid
A command line application which allows for easy generation of emails, handlers, database models
Finally, the command line application will allow us to create a ready-to-go web application by tying a single command: celeritas new <myproject>
The only requirements for this course are:
A basic understanding of Go
A basic understanding of SQL databases
A Windows, Mac, or Linux computer
An internet connection
Docker
Visual Studio Code (or the IDE of your choice)

Trevor is always a great instructor, and this course continues to show that. He shares knowledge in a very clean and efficient way, while also staying actively engaged in the Q&A section. If you are coming from Laravel or Django and want a great understanding of what they do "under the hood" this will be a engaging and effective course for you.
Really cool lesson, it's so fun to make our own framework! This really helps us to start develop a new simple application.
I've learned some interesting stuff from this course, especially working with Docker from code in tests, crypto things, authentication and many many more. I'm glad I have taken this course. Such a pity, a can't buy new courses from this author only because I'm from Russia... but I will when I will be able to
Excellent course. I have taken a few of Trevor's courses and they are all excellent. I am going to begin part 2 immediately.
Great content, , as a developer who always look for more, this is probably the best go course on udemy.
Great course. I love your unique project ideas, not just another 'web project'. Always learning something new. Like your style also, so I recommended your courses to others. Just throwing an idea, I'll be happy to see a full command-line application (without building anything related to web), that implements different concurrency patterns (as there are barely serious examples of concurrency).
Great course, demands some level in Go but is well explained and the content is so much interesting, please Trevor make more course with this level of deepness
I enjoy Trevor's designs in the courses. The designs are practical and can easily be reused in your own system which I have done before. It shows off Trevor's vast experience in using golang in practice. Here we have a good example of just such a case. Using proper design patterns to generate other backends in go, which frees up a lot of time for frontend issues.
This is one of the best courses a budding developer can take period.
I work as a fullstack dev on a medium sized dev team (~20 SWE) who make an internal tool for about 2000 users. We currently work entirely in Laravel, but PHPs lack of speed is being felt heavily. Looking into other options, and a Laravel replacement (even if rolled internally) is a great starting point
As someone who's daily job is working in Laravel and other Symphony-based frameworks this is a great introduction to Go. You're recreating functionality you know very well in Go from scratch, which is great to figure out the way things are done in Go. This course hits that spot where it's perfect for relatively experienced programmers trying to learn Go, as opposed to covering the total basics. It does this in a fast-paced, hands-on and practical way. Good courses for experienced programmers trying to learn a new language are rare in my experience, so this is a very welcome find! Trevors explanations are very clear and easy to follow, without losing pace due to overexplanation. It does not go into the fundamentals of Go, however; but the Go-specific things that are not necessarily in every language (like references, pointers and deferred functions) can be easily looked up, and these explanations are much easier to understand due to the context provided by the material being worked on. I would highly recommend this to developers who have experience in another language trying to learn Go, and especially to backend developers familiar with frameworks like Laravel. It's great to see Go in action in a familiar context, and it's a very fun project to boot.
The course is great! Dr. Sawler teachers students how to create and use a whole set of tools that automate the hard parts of Go. His project, Celeritas, which he helps students build in his two-part course, is like Ruby on Rails but for Gofers.
