In this series we explore how you might structure an application written in Go. We start by examining why it is so hard for everyone to just agree on a universal structure, and then dive into a few various options looking at the pros and cons of each. By the end you should have a solid understanding of how to go about deciding what structure is best for your context when you start your next application in Go. We will mostly focus on web applications, but the overall message applies for almost all apps written in Go.

MVC is a well-known way to structure web applications, but it is often shunned in Go. In this article we explore how MVC can be effectively implement in Go as well as how to avoid all of the issues that many people associate with MVC.

This four part series explores Go's template package, which can be used to render HTML or text. Topics covered include contextual encoding, actions, using functions in templates, and how to build a proper view layer for a web application.
