Summary
In this chapter, we gave you an introduction to the Go programming language. We learned how to set up the runtime and development environments. We also understood the GOPATH environment variable, which is a workspace definition in Go, and we now know that all packages and projects reside on that path.
Later, we explored the different Go web frameworks and learned why Gin is the most popular for building distributed web applications. Finally, we learned how to write our first hello world project with Gin from scratch.
In the next chapter, we will get our hands dirty and start building a distributed RESTful API with the Gin framework.
