# Introduction



Go Language - Web Application Secure Coding Practices is a guide written for

anyone who is using the [Go Programming Language][1] and aims to use it for web

development.



It was originally created by [Checkmarx Security Research Team][2] and later

donated to the OWASP Foundation: see the [project page][13]. The book follows

the [OWASP Secure Coding Practices - Quick Reference Guide v2 (stable)][3]

release.



The main goal of this book is to help developers avoid common mistakes while at

the same time, learning a new programming language through a "hands-on

approach". This book provides a good level of detail on "how to do it securely"

showing what kind of security problems could arise during development.



## The Audience for this Book



The primary audience of the Go Secure Coding Practices Guide is developers,

particularly the ones with previous experience with other programming languages.



The book is also a great reference to those learning programming for the first

time, who have already finish the [Go tour][7].



## What You Will Learn



This book covers the [OWASP Secure Coding Practices Guide][12] topic-by-topic,

providing examples and recommendations using Go, to help developers avoid common

mistakes and pitfalls.



After reading this book, you'll be more confident you're developing secure Go

applications.



## About OWASP Secure Coding Practices



This book was adapted for Go Language from The [Secure Coding Practices Quick

Reference Guide][3], an [OWASP][4] - Open Web Application Security Project. It

is a "_technology agnostic set of general software security coding practices, in

a comprehensive checklist format, that can be integrated into the development

lifecycle_" ([source][12]).



[OWASP][4] itself is "_an open community dedicated to enabling organizations to

conceive, develop, acquire, operate, and maintain applications that can be

trusted. All of the OWASP tools, documents, forums, and chapters are free and

open to anyone interested in improving application security_" ([source][5]).
