Web and mobile applications are built from multiple components, but one statement is true for most of them: they need a backend. Since the performance of Go is on par with C, but its design and syntax are much more developer-friendly, it is a popular choice for backend development. However, with great power comes great responsibility.

Following the topics outlined by OWASP but tailored especially for Go developers, this course provides a comprehensive overview of the most common security vulnerabilities in today's web applications and how to avoid them. Next to web security, the course also touches on the basics of cryptography and common Go coding errors through various exercises.

After successful completion of this course, participants will have an in-depth understanding about and hands-on practical experience with the secure coding best practices in Go.
