This module will give you the information needed to connect with the Go community on Slack, how to find local meetups, what the Go playground is, as well as a link to the video where this entire preview was recorded.
Buffalo is a web ecosystem, and not just a framework. This chapter will cover why writing websites using the standard library can be time consuming and difficult, and what Buffalo does to make it not only easier, but much faster and maintainable as well.
Actions are used to configure your application, routing, middleware, and more. Routes are used to create distinct namespaces in your application that you can navigate to.
PREVIEW - NOT THE FULL COURSE
Buffalo is a Go web development eco-system, designed to make the life of a Go web developer easier.
Buffalo starts by generating a web project for you that already has everything from front-end (JavaScript, SCSS, etc...) to back-end (database, routing, etc...) already hooked up and ready to run. From there it provides easy APIs to build your web application quickly in Go.
Buffalo isn't just a framework, it's a holistic web development environment and project structure that lets developers get straight to the business of, well, building their business.
