I understand writing a book isn't an easy task, so this is not a critique to the author, but the editors and those who decided to publish it: it lacks lots of details on the important things, and assumes other things as granted or known by the reader. It also uses **lots** of dependencies, which isn't very Go-like. I'm by no means an expert in Go development, but I'm experienced enough to know that I wouldn't recommend this book to any other programmer.

IMHO the book can be today (2024) outdated eg. now we can use go modules instead of GOPATH.

Everyone needs to answer the question of what they expect from this book. The first 3 chapters WebSockets & OAuth look interesting. But in this project, we use an external library (which is not bad decision, but we only call some external functions)
Other chapters are very similar. If you are looking for inspiration add +1 to grade.

If you know something about Go or/and you have experience with another programming language, you will probably not learn many things.
