Understanding signals, how they work in Go, and how to utilize them to write better Go programs.

Much like the exercises in Gophercises, this exercise is designed to help developers continue learning Go. In this particular series we look at how one might approach building an application to power a personal blog. This entails looking at things like a web server, interacting with markdown files, caching, and more.

Outline Basic blog Markdown to HTML Frontmatter Index Page Aside Parser Github v1 Tailwind CSS Deploy Github Webhooks Optimizing: cache? Optimizing: goroutines Feature: Specify subdirectory and ignore files Feature: Pagination Optional: Redesign as a backfiller that we run at startup, then have a service that can deliver blog posts as it runs? - Right now we need to load ALL posts to sort by creation date or anything else - We need ALL posts to filter the ones with a specific tag if we support tags - We could redesign this as a system that pulls from GH and populates something else to run the page from.

Interfaces in Go are going to be a foreign concept to many developers. In this series we explore what interfaces are, why they are useful in a dynamically typed language, and how the subtle differences from other languages have a big impact on how interfaces are used effectively in Go.

In this series we explore using concurrency with Go. From using a WaitGroup to let various goroutines finish doing work, all the way to more complex patterns involving channels, fan-out, fan-in, and more.

In this series we explore various aspects of working remotely your home.
