Tiny Go Projects

A collection of small, focused Go projects—each folder is its own “tiny lab” exploring one idea (HTTP routing, cookies, sessions, DB access, WebSockets, templates, etc.).

Most folders are standalone Go modules (they include a go.mod). A few are single-file examples without modules.

Quick Start

# pick a folder and run it
cd <project-folder>
go run .

If a folder doesn’t have a main.go (or doesn’t compile as-is), run the specific file called out in that section.
