Look inside

In this liveProject, you’ll dive into the software engineer role at Echorand Corp., a leading analytics company. Echorand Corp wants to offer its customers the opportunity to host images, so they’ve turned to you. You’ll build an impressive web application using the Go programming language using GitHub as the OAuth provider. You’ll implement secure authentication, providing users with a seamless login experience, and manage application state effortlessly using SQLite.
