  Learning about isomorphic development in Go leads to a unified view of web and back-end development: It extends the remit of a server-side programming language to the browser.
 Key Features  
   Learn how to build Isomorphic Go web applications 
   Neatly organize your isomorphic codebase to enhance the maintainability of your application 
   Leverage the same Go code across the web server and the web browser 
  Book Description Isomorphic Go is the methodology to create isomorphic web applications using the Go programming language. Isomorphic web applications have the capability to reuse code across environments, increasing the synergy between the web server and the web browser. This book is a hands-on guide that will show you how to build and deploy an Isomorphic Go web application.Isomorphic Go begins with an in-depth exploration of the benefits provided by the isomorphic web application architecture. You'll be introduced to the Isomorphic Go toolchain, and how it can help you write Go code that functions across environments. You'll learn how to create Go programs in the web browser using GopherJS and how to render isomorphic templates. Then you'll be introduced to end-to-end application routing, use isomorphic handoff to seamlessly transition state from the web server to the web browser, and compose isomorphic forms that have the ability to reuse form validation logic. You'll be exposed to advanced concepts including the implementation of real-time web application functionality with websockets and the creation of reusable components (cogs) that are rendered using the virtual DOM. Finally, you'll see how to deploy an Isomorphic Go web application to a production environment. What you will learn  
   Create Go programs inside the web browser using GopherJS 
   Render isomorphic templates on both the client side and the server side 
   Perform end-to-end application routing for greater search engine discoverability and an enhanced user experience 
   Implement isomorphic handoff to seamlessly transition state between the web server and the web browser 
   Build real-time web application functionality with websockets 
   Create reusable components (cogs) that are rendered using the virtual DOM 
   Deploy an Isomorphic Go application for production use 
  Who This Book Is For This book addresses web developers, who are comfortable with JavaScript and the full web development cycle. You may or may not be experienced in isomorphic development, but should have a basic understanding of Go's syntax. Table of Contents
