Welcome to the final module of the Go Programming Course! In this module, you will apply the knowledge and skills you have acquired throughout the course to a comprehensive final project. This project will encompass various aspects of Go programming, from basic syntax to advanced topics, and will give you hands-on experience in building a complete application.

By the end of this project, you will be able to:

• Design and plan a Go application.
• Implement various Go programming concepts in a real-world scenario.
• Test and deploy a Go application.
• Demonstrate your ability to solve problems using Go.

You will be building a web-based task management application. This application will allow users to create, read, update, and delete tasks. Additionally, it will include user authentication, data persistence, and a web interface.

1. User Authentication

   • Users should be able to register and log in.
   • Passwords should be securely hashed and stored.

2. Task Management

   • Users can create, read, update, and delete tasks.
   • Each task should have a title, description, status (e.g., pending, completed), and due date.

3. Web Interface

   • A simple and intuitive web interface for interacting with the application.
   • Use Go templates to render HTML pages.

4. Data Persistence

   • Use a database to store user and task information.
   • Implement CRUD operations for tasks and user data.

5. Error Handling

   • Proper error handling for user inputs and database operations.

6. Concurrency

   • Use goroutines and channels where appropriate to handle concurrent operations.

The project will be divided into the following phases:

1. Project Planning

   • Define the project requirements and scope.
   • Design the application architecture and database schema.

2. Implementation

   • Set up the Go environment and initialize the project.
   • Implement user authentication.
   • Develop the task management features.
   • Create the web interface using Go templates.
   • Integrate the database for data persistence.

3. Testing and Deployment

   • Write unit tests for the application.
   • Perform integration testing.
   • Deploy the application to a web server.

• Go Programming Language: The primary language for the project.
• HTML/CSS: For creating the web interface.
• Database: Use SQLite, MySQL, or PostgreSQL for data storage.
• Version Control: Use Git for version control.
• Web Server: Deploy the application using a web server like Nginx or Apache.

1. Source Code: The complete source code of the application, organized and well-documented.
2. Database Schema: The database schema used for the project.
3. Documentation: A detailed document explaining the project architecture, setup instructions, and usage.
4. Deployed Application: A live version of the application deployed on a web server.

Your project will be evaluated based on the following criteria:

• Functionality: Does the application meet the specified requirements?
• Code Quality: Is the code well-organized, readable, and maintainable?
• Error Handling: Are errors properly handled and reported?
• Testing: Are there sufficient tests to ensure the application works as expected?
• Deployment: Is the application successfully deployed and accessible?

1. Set Up Your Environment: Ensure you have Go installed and set up on your machine. Install any necessary tools and libraries.
2. Initialize the Project: Create a new Go project and set up version control with Git.
3. Plan Your Application: Define the requirements, design the architecture, and create a database schema.
4. Start Coding: Begin with user authentication, followed by task management features, and then the web interface.
5. Test and Deploy: Write tests, perform integration testing, and deploy your application.

This final project is an opportunity to showcase your Go programming skills and apply what you have learned in a practical, real-world scenario. Take your time to plan, implement, and test your application thoroughly. Good luck, and happy coding!
