Ultimate GoLang Beginner's Cheat Sheet

Fri, 28 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000

A handy reference guide for GoLang

When I first learned GoLang 5 years ago, I remember constantly looking up its syntax and things like printing, which was much different than Python 3’s way of doing things.

So, I’ve put together the things I looked up the most during my first few months with GoLang in a handy cheat sheet.

But don’t worry, I’ll provide it in text for those who like blog posts.

InfraHamBurglar: a CyberSecurity News Bot built with AWS Lambda, GoLang, and Twitter API v2

InfraHamBurglar a Twitter Bot for sharing CyberSecurity News

Today I am introducing the InfraHamBurglar Twitter Bot, which is reporting on the latest “Robble, Robble” worldwide.

As someone who works in cybersecurity, I thought it would be funny to have a Twitter bot named the “InfraHamBurglar” as a pun on an Infrastructure Burglar that is going Ham. Where Infrastructure loosely means Servers and Databases that exist in the cloud.

How I used Machine Learning with GoLang to get More Followers on TikTok

Tue, 04 Oct 2022 00:00:00 +0000

In this post, I will show how to use machine learning with GoLang to build a model to predict what makes a video follow-worthy on my TikTok based on my posts so far.

The data set was created by going through my videos and manually inputting data into a google sheet. For whatever reason, TikTok doesn’t have an easily accessible API, and paid products are expensive.

GoLang, Svelte, and Wails 2.0: Cross Platform Desktops just got even easier

Tue, 27 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Intro

In the past building, a desktop app required you to learn a completely different tech stack. However, if you’re a GoLang enthusiast, then you’re in luck. In the many frameworks written, there’s Wails v2. Which has been designed to let users stick with GoLang and their JavaScript (JS) framework choice to build a fully cross-platform desktop application.

Wails works similarly to Electron if you’re familiar with it. If not, here’s the gist: you can build a desktop app without learning anything other than JS, HTML, and CSS.

Most Popular GoLang Frameworks

Intro

A framework is typically an opinionated way of building something that a dev or group of devs have built and shared with the world. Web Dev frameworks are by far the most popular.

A web dev framework is one that provides templates and design patterns for building Web Applications like Google, Yahoo, FaceBook, InstaGram, Twitter, and so on. Some of the most popular web dev ones of all time are Ruby on Rails and Python’s Django, but what if you’re a GoLang programmer?

How to use GoLang, Hugo, and Lambda for a Single Page Application

Thu, 15 Sep 2022 00:00:00 +0000

Intro

In this post, I’ll show how I built the website Free Resume Scanner with Hugo and AWS Serverless. The architecture of the app is similar to most Single Page Web applications. But instead of using React.js, or whatever the trendy Javascript framework is at the moment. We’ll use Hugo as our front end. I personally chose this setup with blogging in mind because blogging is one of the best ways to boost a website’s search engine optimization (SEO) to get web traffic aka users.I hope that you use this as a starting point in your dev adventures and even more so consider building small open source tools as well.
