GOTH Stack Workshop 🚀

Welcome to the ESD-2024-GOTH-Stack workshop repository! It contains everything you need to follow along with the workshop, including assignments, documentation, and examples. This workshop demonstrates how to build a web application using the GOTH stack:

• Go – a fast, statically typed, compiled programming language
• Templ – a template-based code generator for Go, simplifying your HTML generation
• HTMX – a lightweight JavaScript library for extending HTML with dynamic, server-driven functionality

Check out our wiki for more in depth explanations and further resources on the different components of this stack.

Overview

During this workshop, you’ll learn how to:

• Build server-side logic in Go.
• Use Templ for generating static HTML components (or other Go boilerplate).
• Enhance your web pages with dynamic interactions using HTMX.

By the end, you’ll have a solid starting point for creating modern, server-driven web applications without the complexity of heavy frontend frameworks.
