Go Makes Things Simple

While each one of these things can be important in the building of your web
applications, not every one of them is important for any given app. For
instance, a web API may just use JSON as its serialization format, thus making
concepts like HTML not relevant for that particular web app.

Go makes things simple, it’s as easy as that. If we train ourselves to
align with the “Go way” of programming for the web, we will end up with more
simple, flexible, and maintainable web applications.

Power in Simplicity

When sitting down to craft your own web applications in Go, think hard about
the components and concepts that your app will be focused on, and use just
those pieces. This book will be covering a wide array of web topics, but do not
feel obligated to use them all. In the words of our friend Lonestar, “Take
only what you need to survive”.
