Summary

In this chapter, we learned how to work with HTTP and how to create Docker images from Go code, as well as how to develop HTTP clients and servers. We have also converted the statistics application into a web application and programmed a command line client for it. Additionally, we learned how to time out HTTP connections.

We are now ready to begin developing powerful and concurrent HTTP applications —however, we are not done yet with HTTP. Chapter 11, Working with REST APIs, is going to connect the dots and show how to develop powerful RESTful servers and clients.

But first, we need to learn about working with TCP/IP, TCP, UDP, and WebSocket, which are the subjects of the next chapter.
