# shortener
Url shortener app made with Go and Gin in less than 8 hours of work that uses Redis as database

The main reason behind this project is only study purposes, and to follow my general a roadmap of learning a new language:

- Learn language basics
- Create a tictactoe game
- Create a url shortener app(in general is a small app that provide the learning experience needed)

The main challenge was the time to learn Gin and how to work with databases in Go in less than 8 hours and somehow manage to deliver something that works!

Also I had to learn how to install, manage and compile programs with external dependencies, wich generated a bit of trouble

Now I guess I will have to add 10 years of experience in Go and Gin on my linkedin profile, to have the chance to get the goldfish attention span of a recruiter on my profile :P
