I am in the process of learning go and i think something like Michael Hartl's Rails Tutorial would fit nicely for me right now. I've looked at usegolang.com but i am not sure it has emphasis on API's. Any suggestions?

#2In https://www.manning.com/books/go-web-programming, they start with server-side rendered views and then dedicate the whole last part of the book to web services. It's pretty good!

#4Not a tutorial but here's a project that goes over the architecture of building one using best practices. You may not need everything in it (so take from it what you will), but it should be helpful:

At first I thought book was in Slovenian or something, until I realized there was some DOM level decryption happening. I simultaneously wanted to open it up to figure out how it worked and close the page because it was so broken and counter to the supposedly simple idea of displaying words on a page that it infuriated me.
I hope the book is good, but I guess I'll never know.

#6I'm working through Let's Go! by Alex Edwards right now, it's not specifically focussed on APIs but the book guides you through building a web application in Go.
My experience so far has been very positive.

#7I saw this recommended on HN the other day which covers that ground. Have not done it myself so this is a pointer rather than a recommendation: https://buildsaasappingo.com/

#8https://github.com/quii/learn-go-with-tests is a great resource. It has some relevant sections to writing Web APIs.

What do you mean you'll never know? Your parent comment said it was pretty good. A single data point is not authoritative, but it shows a pretty solid trend toward "pretty good."
You already know the book is pretty good, you just wanted to complain about DRM, I suspect. I hope that's not the case.

They have something like a 5-minute per-24h free preview of the entire book. It confused me too, the first time I came back to a tab I’d left open for a book I wanted to check out. Ultimately I wasn’t able to get a good idea of the book quality, so I never purchased a book from them, but maybe it works for some people.
