Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll take on the role of a software engineer for Echorand Corp tasked with implementing image-hosting capabilities for their new platform. You’ll make full use of the Go standard library to write a web UI that can upload images once they are authenticated, then add SQLite support for storing image metadata. Finally, you’ll update the web app so your users can see their newly uploaded images in all their glory.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

book resources

When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
