Hi ben, I passed this video around to some of my junior frontend devs and they were quite confused by some of the concepts explained in the video. Personally I think you've bounced around the topic a bit too much without giving a concrete example of a server and client. Here was some of the feedback from the juniors: - Is the cloud different to a server? - Whats an API? - How does my request get sent from the frontend to the backend? How does that work? - Whats a reverse proxy? - We use graphQL does it work in the same way?
if the junior frontend devs dont know what an api is, you really need to do some work my friend. you cant expect him to cover all the basic topics in a single vid lmao. and you could get results for pretty much all the questions you pointed out from a simple google/chatgpt search. this is pathetic. cheers.
Yea I definitely need to retitle it, the intent was for it to be concepts for those who are already up to speed with the basics of web dev, not a beginners guide. I’ll put out a better one that’s a beginner intro soon
When I realized how complex back-end development was, I figured I'd better search for "introduction to back-end development" and this video was the first result.
You should do a video on the biggest criticisms for go. Did you learn java, C++, PHP, or some other back end language before learning go? Seems like its your favorite back end language
This is the exact question I have been wrestling with for the past few months, and I think I am finally finding the answer, stay tuned to the coming series!
@avfr I'm in between wanting to do what you just recommended so I properly learn not only Go but also web dev at a foundational level and can maybe be employable one day and just diving into sveltekit for 2 weeks and making apps for locals
@avfr You have to be cognisant that Chi is NOT a framework! it's a router library gin and fiber ARE a full-fledged framework where both don't use http2 and/or the standard library for various things. Echo in the other hand does even though it is technically a framework it's a very small one that does adhere to the std lib. I would go for chi or even Echo before gin or fiber.
Meanwhile this is right about gorilla mux if chi gets discontinued you can just revert to the standard library which is really easy. If gin or fiber gets discontinued you are in a big mess. Plus you can't do rpc with gin or fiber because of their no support of http2 so that's another problem on top of it

You have devs that don't know what an API is?
@@bfkgod people aren't born with knowledge dude, they gotta learn at some point

Great explanation of how serverless works in a different way. If you could talk about that (i.e. nextjs) in more detail that would be great!

ya but u can emmit event and work on event logging that right
How does Go and other backend languages fit into this Server rendered React approach that seems so popular online now.

@@bmdavis419 Looking forward to it!
How do you persist data in a serverless environment? Do you store it in a DB that is hosted and never spins down on idle?
This is a good question. The issue is whether it's worth answering here in this comment section.
Which go framework and templating engine would you recommend to someone that's new to Go?

I love your videos. You remind me of myself. Do you also have ADHD?
